Nigeria’s ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) is intensifying its political consolidation ahead of upcoming polls, inaugurating a campaign organisation aimed at winning all six Federal Capital Territory (FCT) area councils while simultaneously attracting high-profile defections from the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). Senior APC figures, including the deputy speaker of the House of Representatives and regional leaders in Kano, Ondo, and Abia, are publicly committing to deliver votes and formalising internal power-sharing arrangements, signalling a coordinated national strategy to strengthen President Bola Tinubu’s political base. This matters for the balance of power in key swing areas and for the stability of Nigeria’s party system as opposition structures face renewed pressure.
