A political analyst, Adebisi Aduloju, has described internal disagreements within political parties as a recurring aspect of Nigeria’s political landscape.

Aduloju made the remark while reacting to concerns raised by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) during Glow FM’s newspaper review programme, Issues in the Dailies.

According to him, disputes and factional struggles within political parties have existed for years and are not unusual in Nigeria’s political system. However, he stressed that such conflicts should not significantly disrupt the nation’s election planning process.

The analyst noted that while party crises may generate political tension, electoral institutions and stakeholders must remain focused on ensuring that preparations for elections proceed without major setbacks.

His comments followed a recent warning by INEC over increasing reports of factional disputes and power struggles within several political parties across the country.

The electoral body expressed concern that the growing internal conflicts could potentially affect preparations for upcoming elections if not properly managed by the parties involved.

INEC therefore urged political parties to resolve their internal disagreements through lawful and democratic processes to safeguard the integrity of Nigeria’s electoral system.
