Cracks have widened within Nigeria’s opposition ranks as factions of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), African Democratic Congress (ADC), and Labour Party (LP) openly rejected a proposed joint presidential ticket, throwing coalition talks into fresh uncertainty.
The dramatic fallout, which dominated newspaper front pages, underscores deep divisions among opposition leaders struggling to present a united front ahead of future elections.
At the centre of the storm were remarks by Seyi Makinde during a high-profile opposition summit in Ibadan, where he reportedly cautioned against rushed alliances lacking clear structure and shared vision.
Meanwhile, economic concerns also stole headlines, as reports of a fresh hike in aviation fuel prices sparked fears of increased airfares and broader ripple effects across Nigeria’s fragile economy.
Analysts say the twin developments—political fragmentation and rising operational costs in the aviation sector—paint a troubling picture for both governance and opposition strategy.
With coalition hopes now hanging in the balance, Nigerians are watching closely to see whether opposition parties can resolve internal rifts or risk heading into the next electoral cycle divided and weakened.
