Rumors of opposition parties planning to unite into a single mega party, according to sociopolitical pundit Shehu Sani, are beneficial for Nigeria’s democracy.
After losing to the All Progressives Congress, the party in power, in the recently finished elections, he claimed that the opposition parties appeared to have learned their lessons.
On Monday morning, the former Kaduna Central senator made this statement via his Twitter account.
He wrote, “The speculation that the opposition are planning to unite is good for democracy; now they are studying geography after the earthquake.”
The APC was formed on 6 February 2013 from a merger of Nigeria’s three largest opposition parties – the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), and the All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP) along with a breakaway faction of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) and the new Peoples Democratic Party (nPDP).
