Uba Sani, the governor of Nigeria’s Kaduna State, announced the formation of a consensus committee to oversee the selection of a single, unified candidate for the 2023 presidential election on behalf of the opposition coalition. The committee, comprising senior politicians, party leaders and civil‑society figures, is tasked with mediating among the various opposition parties—such as the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Labour Party, New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) and others—to reach a common agreement on who will represent the “biggest opposition” against the incumbent president. The move aims to avoid vote splitting and strengthen the opposition’s chances in the national election. Views Nigeria
