Every election year has a unique political story to tell, even if there isn’t a race for reelection or a change in the balance of power. Every time Nigerians prepare to elect new leaders, certain variables or components have influenced these elections.

The Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) Umaru Musa Yaradua, the All Nigeria Peoples Party’s Muhammadu Buhari, and Atiku Abubakar were the three leading candidates in the 2007 election, and they were all from the north. The election in 2011 was influenced by ethnicity and rotation.

The creation of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the n-PDP were key electoral shaping factors in 2015.

A group of disgruntled party chieftains, including some elected governors, may certainly influence the general election of 2023 in addition to the third force that will undoubtedly arise.

This organisation came into being after Atiku Abubakar, a former vice president and inhabitant of the north, won the PDP’s presidential nomination.

Remember that Atiku Abubakar, a former vice president of Nigeria, received 371 votes, while Nyesom Wike, a close second, received 237. This left Saraki and other candidates fighting for the remaining votes.

Iyorchia Ayu, the party’s national chairman and a fellow northerner, was called upon to quit by certain governors and party chieftains after Atiku Abubakar emerged as the Peoples Democratic Party’s presidential front-runner.

They asserted that a given zone cannot receive both the presidential ticket and the national head of the biggest opposition party. To maintain a balance of power within the party, they want Iyorchia Ayu to resign. Iyorchia Ayu’s forced resignation, according to Atiku and his supporters, could lead to a serious problem within the party as it gears up for the 2023 elections.

There is ongoing internal strife in the Peoples Democratic Party as of the time this report was filed, and it has spread to the party-controlled states. There are allegations that, in order to avoid political disaster, the Atiku Campaign Organization had to establish rival political institutions in states run by the G-5 governors.

Several attempts at reconciliation failed. There were rumors of fights and squabbles between the governors and the leaders of related organizations. These G-5 governors did not just skip the party’s presidential rallies and campaigns; they also skipped the inauguration of the Atiku Campaign Organization. They also abstained from several political events hosted by the campaign organization.

Five governors that were chosen on the Peoples Democratic Party agenda make up the G-5 (PDP). These five governors are Okezie Ikpeazu (Abia), Seyi Makinde (Oyo), Ifeanyi Ugwanyi (Enugu), Samuel Ortom (Benue), and Nyesom Wike (Rivers).

Here are succinct descriptions of G-5 members that are extremely concerned about Iyorchia Ayu, the national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, resigning (PDP).
