4. Labour Party (LP)

It is on the platform of the Labour party that Olusegun Mimiko of Ondo state got his mandate before jumping ship to the PDP. Adams Oshiomole also romanced with Labour Party before becoming governor. they moved to other stronger parties. Labour party has been able to provide an alternative to the big two political parties.

3. All progressive Grand Alliance (APGA)

The All Progressive Grand Alliance is a political party formed in the eastern part of Nigeria and had the late Chukwuemeka Odimegwu Ojukwu as its founder hence the popularity of the party in that region. Despite the party’s seeming downward surge, it still has played an important role in the emergence of a number of state governors, senators as well as house of reps members. The state was responsible for producing the likes of Peter Obi and Willie Obiano of Anambra stats. Rochas Okorocha and Theodore Orji also got their first mandate on the platform of this party.

2. Peoples Democratic Party

PDP dropped one step down to become the second biggest political party in Nigeria after losing the 2015 presidential election to the All Progressive Congress (APC). But it is still big enough to act as a formidable opposition to the ruling parting. PDP still has about 12 states in its’ control as well as the deputy senate president and a handful of senators and honorable members.

1. All progressive Congress

APC became the largest political party in Nigeria by toppling the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) after an emphatic win at the national level at the 2015 presidential election which brought in President Muhammadu Buhari. Apart from the presidency, APC has 22 states in its coffers as well as the president of the senate and the speaker of the house of reps. The leader of the party is Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Is PDP still a political party in Nigeria? And listed as one of the largest at that. Just curious who the members are. Last I checked, PDP members had all joined APC seeking political favours

PDP for me remains the Biggest party in Nigeria, westAfrica and Africa at large . i can only say that this is a temporary set back ..
CPC islamist party + AD ofe mmanu party = APC
LP anywhere belle face party
APGA is a biafran party
PDP. the true Nigerian Identity..
Maybe greed just got in the way but there is going to be a purge ..
the rotten eggs taken out and the golden eggs given the chance to take Nigeria forward ..
Buhari might be our Moses ..
But in the end we need a joshua..
