Copying APC’s 2015 Playbook Won’t Build a Stronger Opposition

One of the laziest lines in Nigerian politics is “But APC did it to PDP in 2015.” If they acted irresponsibly then, repeating the same tactics now isn’t a manifesto—it’s revenge dressed as democracy. A serious opposition needs more than noise. In 2015, APC built a winning coalition by merging parties, aligning regional structures and mobilising grassroots support. You can’t borrow the outrage without the organisation. Promising better leadership means improving on past mistakes, not imitating them. Nigeria needs an opposition that offers real solutions, not a change of actors with the same behaviour.
