Wahala don full ground for Naija politics as opposition members dey waka go APC like say dem dey play musical chairs. Na serious matter wey fit shake the entire democratic structure of the country!
As PDP and other opposition parties dey lose governors one by one, we fit dey ask ourselves wetin dey happen. Six PDP governors don don defect go APC, and dem no dey slow down. With Tinubu dey eye second term fiercely, e be like say the opposition na joke matter for now.
These governors wey don jump ship na Sheriff Oborevwori from Delta, Umo Eno wey dey represent Akwa Ibom, Peter Mbah from Enugu, Douye Diri from Bayelsa, Caleb Mutfwang from Plateau, and Agbu Kefas from Taraba. If this trend continue, we fit wake up one day come discover say Naija na one-party state!
Ifeanyi Odili wey be national President for Campaign for Democracy don talk say dem dey fear say na one-party state we dey head now. With APC controlling about 28 out of 36 states, wetin remain for PDP and other parties? Dem dey hang small small on just four states, one for APGA, one for NNPP, and one for Accord. E don do be like say Abuja dey watch dem from corner.
But no worry, because some party wey dem call ADC dey try gather resistance. Dem don turn like meeting point for people wey gree say dem no wan join APC or PDP wahala again. Unlike PDP wey dey depend on governors, ADC wan jive for ground by mobilising voters and building coalitions.
As the matter dey hot, e clear say ADC still no get enough power to challenge Tinubu. Dem no dey control any state assembly, and their presence for National Assembly dey very weak. So, wetin fit happen? All eyes dey on how coalition matter go unfold, as dem dey consider combining forces with Labour Party and NNPP.
Even with seven governors wey still dey stand for opposition parties, e no easy. If we check well, just two of dem – Makinde from Oyo and Mohammed from Bauchi – dey show serious face. The rest don dey trend back to APC side through some tactical movements.
Some dey talk say Tinubu dey use EFCC and other agencies to intimidate opposition to fit clear road for 2027. E be like say he dey sense that the remaining governors may soon follow their friends into the APC. Adenola Adeleke from Osun, for instance, don jump enter Accord Party, and plenty people dey suspect say na to secure his political future as 2026 elections dey approach.
Omo, na serious game we dey see so! This political back and forth fit show us how survival instinct dey guide these governors’ moves. E don become clear say the real wahala no be about party loyalty, but how to nab power, survive politically, and maintain relevance!
On top all these, people wey dey look for serious reforms and accountability go dey feel am as the political tension dey rise. Oyo Governor Makinde dey shout say make dem no turn Naija to one-party state, and he dey keep eyes on Wike wey dey try win the PDP for Tinubu. Na wetin we dey call survival of the fittest!
