O interesse dos acadêmicos pelo discurso político tem sido geralmente atraído pela dinâmica dos discursos de investidura e pela descrição implícita ou explícita de ideologias. Poucos estudos exploraram os padrões discursivos, as orientações temáticas, as relações de poder, os dispositivos retóricos, as ideologias e outros aspectos desses discursos de posse. Este artigo oferece uma investigação holística das ideologias recorrentes nos discursos de posse do primeiro mandato na Nigéria. Os dados para o estudo foram extraídos de 25 discursos de posse proferidos entre 2014 e 2015 em todos os 36 estados da Nigéria. A fonte dos dados foi Inaugural Speeches: President and Governors of Nigeria (2014–2017). Usando a perspectiva teórica do método de análise crítica do discurso de Van Dijk, foram identificadas quatro ideologias nos discursos. Usando a perspectiva teórica do método de análise crítica do discurso de Van Dijk, foram identificadas quatro ideologias nos discursos. Essas ideologias manifestadas nos discursos são idealistas, teístas, messiânicas e democráticas. Descobriu-se que elas inspiram o estabelecimento da autoridade dos governantes por meio do processo de sensibilização dos cidadãos em relação à interpretação do governante sobre a eleição, a apresentação dos novos princípios e perspectivas que permeariam a nova administração e como isso moldaria a governança durante o mandato. As estratégias recorrentes para a projeção de ideologias foram o consenso, a polarização, a lexicalização, a pressuposição e a metáfora.
