Nigerian opposition parties are divided over the question of fielding a single candidate to challenge President Bola Tinubu in the next election, according to Punch Newspapers.
The report, published Monday, says the disagreement centres on whether the opposition should unite behind one challenger. Punch Newspapers did not specify which parties or individuals are involved in the dispute.
The split comes as political groups consider strategies to mount a stronger challenge against Tinubu, who won the 2023 presidential election. Opposition parties have previously struggled to coordinate their campaigns, often splitting the vote among multiple candidates.
Observers will watch whether the opposition can resolve its differences before the next election cycle.
