APC chair Abdullahi Ganduje says there's “nothing wrong” with Nigeria becoming a one-party state — a comment made after welcoming three PDP senators into the ruling party. His remarks raise deeper concerns about political diversity, democratic choice, and voter trust.
- Ganduje compares Nigeria to China, suggesting one-party dominance can deliver “positive governance.”
- Defections from the opposition to the APC continue, with three PDP senators crossing over this week.
- Critics warn this could silence dissent, reduce accountability, and sideline millions of voters.
“What about those of us who don’t feel represented by APC?” one civil servant asked online. “Do we just not count anymore?”
As defections mount, Nigeria faces a difficult question: Is political competition being erased — or willingly abandoned? Where do Nigerians draw the line between unity and monopoly?
