It creeps in quietly, disguised as strategy, ego, or temporary advantage, until what once stood firm becomes little more than a carcass, recognisable, yet lifeless. That is the condition in which Nigeria’s opposition, particularly the Peoples Democratic Party, finds itself today. Once a formidable counterweight to power, the PDP now resembles a hollow shell, engulfed by internal contradictions, litigations, and a crisis of legitimacy so deep…
