All Progressives Congress
With the general economic crisis, and the crippling fuel supply problem, the string of electoral losses suffered by the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) is the strongholds of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has become a morale booster for the opposition.
Shortly after the comprehensive beating it received in the last general elections, the PDP had reeled from one crisis to another, and lurched under the weight of unpalatable news about their leaders’ serial bungling and malfeasances. Mind-boggling stories of how its leading apparatchiks plundered the national treasury lowered the party in the esteem of all right-thinking Nigerians. Even though party leaders put up a brave face and defied the censorious gazes of their countrymen, it was clear the party was in danger of dying altogether should the APC develop the killer instinct to push the knife deeper into the back of the prostrate opposition.
