The political space in Nigeria is awash with what we choose to call negative politicking in the sense that, beyond diverting the attention of Nigerians
from the real issues of insecurity, unemployment and hunger, it has nothing to justify the time and energy devoted to it. The ruling party, the All Progressives Congress , is literarily in crisis especially since the Supreme Court judgment on the matter arising from the last gubernatorial election in Ondo State.
If anything, it brought to the fore the internal wrangling and inherent contradictions embedded in the party being a merger of convenience, an amalgam of strange political bedfellows. Expectedly, previously hidden issues have been blown open in a manner that is threatening to tear the party to shreds with legal luminaries and party bigwigs throwing brickbats at one another in defense of what they consider the appropriate way to run the party affairs.
