The All Progressives Congress’ controversial primaries have exposed troubling cracks beneath its growing political dominance, raising deeper questions about democratic credibility, elite power, and President Bola Tinubu’s quiet posture ahead of 2027. Adedayo Adejobi reports.
At first glance, the All Progressives Congress appears to be marching toward 2027 with formidable confidence. With Governors who defected in droves into its orbit, federal power remains firmly within its grasp. Opposition parties appear fractured, distracted, and ideologically exhausted.
From Abuja, the optics suggest momentum, expansion, and consolidation.
Yet politics, especially in Nigeria, has always possessed a dangerous habit of disguising instability as strength.
The louder the celebration at the surface, the more necessary it becomes to listen carefully for the cracks underneath.
