Full List of States APC and PDP Are Controlling ahead of the 2023 General Election

Nigeria's 2023 general elections will soon kick off with the Presidential and National Assembly elections which are scheduled to hold on Saturday, February 25.

Currently, the ruling party is the All Progressives Congress (APC) while the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is the nation's main opposition party.

Ahead of the polls, the ruling APC is in control of 21 states while the opposition PDP is in charge of 14, including the newest gain, Osun (which is subject to the final decision of the court).

The remaining state, Anambra, is controlled by the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA).

It is left to be seen whether or not the political dynamics will change after the polls, especially as the PDP takes steps to take over the presidency while the Labour Party also strategies to displace the two major parties.

Fresh trouble for Tinubu, Obi as 5 strong political parties collapse structure for Atiku

Peter Obi, Tinubu or Atiku? The Economist reveals best choice for Nigeria ahead of 2023 presidential election

In another report, The Economist, a London-based newspaper, has picked the Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, as the best choice for Nigeria.

In a recent article, the newspaper said Nigeria desperately needs a new kind of leadership and "Peter Obi offers the best hope of it."

According to the Economist, Obi diagnoses Nigeria’s failings more precisely than his contenders. Nevertheless, the newspaper said the former governor of Anambra state is not much better at explaining how he would fix the problems.

Tinubu tipped to win 2023 presidential election

Meanwhile, another poll conducted by the Nigerian Human Rights Community (NHRC), consisting of 134 organisations, tipped Bola Tinubu, the APC presidential candidate, to win the 25 February 2023 general election.

The group, at a press conference addressed by its Secretary-General, Taiwo Adeleye, in Lagos projected that Tinubu would win based on the analysis of the preferences of 19,365 persons that its researcher polled in January.

The NHRC poll revealed that Tinubu holds a magnificent lead and is on course to win the 2023 general elections.
