The country's long-standing political tradition, frequently influenced by zoning agreements, religious issues, and ethnic balancing, is slowly being threatened.
Deteriorating economic circumstances, increasing inflation, and growing discontent among young people are the main causes of this change.
According to the report, political figures are now concentrating more on competence and economic management than on established party structures or regional influence alone.
The current presidential ticket of President Bola Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima is regarded as steady and institutionally grounded within the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). Despite this, the government is still under fire for economic difficulty and widespread displeasure with its policies.
Efforts to form a united front against the APC are still divided on the opposition side. Despite ongoing appeals for collaboration, important political individuals like Peter Obi, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, and Atiku Abubakar continue to run distinct political organizations.
In the African Democratic Congress (ADC), one of the opposition groups, there have also been concerns. After Atiku Abubakar was named the winner, Rotimi Amaechi, a former Transportation Minister, apparently refused the outcome of the party's presidential primary.
Political strategists are reportedly investigating potential coalition formulas in the background in advance of the election.
It is believed that one of the talks involves a prospective Atiku-Amaechi alliance, with the goal of bringing together power from the South-South and North-East.
An Obi-Kwankwaso alliance, which some analysts believe might do well in metropolitan areas and sections of the North-West, is another issue that is beginning to gain traction in political discussions.
However, questions remain as to how the two leaders' aspirations and power would be handled in a joint ticket.
Separately, a group inside the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is apparently debating whether to join forces with Goodluck Jonathan and Sule Lamido as a political alternative that emphasizes perceived stability and experience.
Goodluck Jonathan has continued to participate in recurring political discussions despite having mostly stayed out of active frontline politics.
