Jide Ojo, a prominent political affairs analyst, has asserted that the opposition political landscape in Nigeria is currently facing severe fragmentation, leaving only one major platform capable of challenging the ruling party. He noted that internal leadership crises and factional divisions have weakened many alternative parties, making coordinated electoral opposition difficult.
According to a video posted on the Official YouTube channel of Channels Television on Monday May 25, 2026, while discussing the systemic challenges within various political entities, he stated, “NDC is about the only party that can pose serious threat to the APC in 2027,” as other options battle severe internal friction.

This lack of cohesion directly undermines their capacity to build solid structures, gather necessary momentum, or present a united front capable of contesting power effectively against an entrenched ruling structure.
