The coming together of political forces of the oppositional hue in
the build-up to the 2015 general election portended a grave danger for the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). In any case, the behemoth, which the PDP
typified at the time, had imprudently and lightly treated the ill-omened
development and paid dearly for it.

The PDP was brought down in prostrate
surrender to the supremacy of the rainbow coalition of opposition parties that
formed the All Progressives Congress (APC) on which platform Muhammadu Buhari
clinched his historic victory over Goodluck Jonathan. That defeat of an incumbent president was novel in the annals of the nation’s
presidential elections.
