Are Opposition Parties In Nigeria Gasping For Breath? (AFRICAN EXAMINER) – Without mincing words, the two main opposition parties – Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Labour Party (LP) – have been embroiled in multi-faceted crises which are currently threatening their chances of bouncing back into relevance before 2027 general elections. However, Kola Ologbondiyan, a former PDP National Publicity Secretary, attributed the gale of defections of opposition leaders to APC what he called threats of a witch-hunt by the ruling party. Usman, in a statement announcing the suspension, accused Abure of illegally parading himself as national chairman of the party despite being removed by the court. A former National Chairman of Inter Party Advisory Council (IPAC), Chief Peter Ameh, said there was no big deal in the internal conflict within LP.
