Nigeria’s ruling All Progressives Congress is facing a fresh storm as reports emerge that a staggering ₦40 billion was allegedly offered to factional chairman, Hafsatu Danladi, in a desperate bid to halt the party’s spiralling leadership crisis.
Insiders say the offer—aimed at calming tensions and averting a full-blown split—was firmly rejected, further widening cracks within the party and casting doubt on its internal cohesion ahead of the 2027 elections.
The development has triggered a wave of public scrutiny, with Nigerians now turning attention to the Independent National Electoral Commission, demanding equal treatment of the APC in line with recent actions taken against the African Democratic Congress over leadership disputes.
Political observers warn that the unfolding drama could snowball into a legal and constitutional battle, especially if rival factions push for official recognition or seek court intervention to challenge the legitimacy of party leadership.
With tensions rising and reconciliation efforts faltering, analysts say the APC may be heading into one of its most turbulent periods yet—one that could reshape the balance of power within the ruling party and test the neutrality of the nation’s electoral umpire.
As pressure builds on INEC to act, the coming days are expected to be decisive in determining whether the crisis will be contained—or explode into a full-scale political showdown.
