Timipanipre Uge, PhD, post reflects a growing concern about the state of opposition politics in Nigeria. The author argues that with opposition parties weakened, fragmented or co-opted, the ruling party’s dominance goes largely unchecked. The post flags the risk of Nigeria drifting toward a form of one-party governance, where real political competition, accountability and alternative policy voices are missing. In that environment, democracy is at risk not because elections aren’t held but because the meaningful contestation around them is absent.
