APC Dominates Opposition Ahead of 2027 Elections
As the 2027 elections approach, the opposition parties in Nigeria seem unprepared to challenge the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). The APC boasts 12.9 million registered members, significantly outnumbering the People's Democratic Party (PDP) with 2.4 million, the African Democratic Congress (ADC) with 1.2 to 1.6 million, and the Labour Party (LP) with 1.3 million.
Recent off-season elections in Bauchi, Kano, Gombe, and Delta states saw the APC winning all seats except one. The APC also holds a majority in state governorships with 31 governors and in the National Assembly with 88 senators and 242 House of Representatives seats.
Notably, opposition leaders like Governor Adeleke of Osun State and Governor Charles Soludo of Anambra State are leading President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's campaign councils in their respective states. Additionally, Nyesom Wike, the FCT minister from the PDP, is also supporting Tinubu's campaign.
The NDC's Peter Obi and Kwankwaso ticket has lost momentum, with Obi criticized for lacking a clear ideology.
