Chuks Okocha writes on the current proxy war in the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party and how it has polarised the once vibrant party.
The leadership crisis within the Peoples Democratic Party is symptomatic of the struggle to control the party ahead of the 2027 general elections. Simply put, it’s all about who will control the party structures and organs in the forthcoming polls.
It is a proxy war, where the actors will use all necessary powers to remove anyone seen as an obstacle. It is a shadow fight between the former vice president, AtikuAbubukar over his perceived presidential ambition and some governors of the party who are also nursing the ambition to clinch the party’s presidential ticket in the 2027 election.
