Zilla Naija gathered that the APC’s dominance in the northern region continues to solidify, especially following recent elections and political alignments in key states across the country. The party’s control over the northern states is seen as a significant political advantage, as the north holds considerable influence in national elections.
With the exception of Bauchi, all other states in the northern part of Nigeria are currently governed by APC, further cementing its hold on the region. This gives the party a strong presence in the country’s political landscape, particularly as they head into the upcoming local and national elections.
As it stands, the APC also controls a total of 31 out of Nigeria’s 36 states, a remarkable feat for the party as it looks to maintain its influence and continue shaping the country’s political direction.

The political rivalry between the two major parties continues to play out in various regions, with each party vying for power and influence across the country.
Political analysts note that while the APC’s wide-reaching control may give it an edge, regional dynamics, voter sentiment, and emerging political alliances could still play a role in shaping future election outcomes. The battle for political dominance, especially in key swing states like Bauchi, will be one to watch as the 2023 political landscape unfolds.
