PDP and battle for flashpoint states vanguardngr.com vanguardnews
Although, some of these states are under the leadership of governors elected on the platform of the party in 2015; the sheer preparation, determination and readiness by the All Progressives Congress, APC, to add more states to its portfolio has made the contest a difficult one to predict.
Unarguably the most experienced political party in the country, having been in power for 16 years, the main opposition party is set to cause some upset in the camp of the APC, given the internal wrangling that characterised the conduct of its governorship primaries in some states across the country.Kwara state, North-Central Nigeria would be interesting to watch considering the diverse interests and powerful political figures gunning for the sole of the state.
As a result, the former governor is doing everything possible to ensure that the party’s candidate, Honourable Razak Atunwa emerges winner of the polls. However, the PDP is up against a new power block led by Information and Culture Minister, Alhaji Lai Mohammed.
The Minister of Transport, Rotimi Amaechi is rooting for the candidate of African Action Congress, Biokpomabo Awara in what is clearly a move to spite Wike and the PDP.The circumstances surrounding the emergence of the APC flag bearer in Lagos state, Babajide Sanwo-Olu are still fresh in the minds of Nigerians. Were it down to performance alone, incumbent governor, Akinwunmi Ambode would retain his exalted office in style.
