Needless to say, the ruling party, the PDP, which has been in power for 12 uninterrupted years, would want to maintain the status quo, while the opposition parties, especially the General Muhammadu Buhari-led Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) are determined to stop it from making it to the Sir Kashim Ibrahim House for the fourth consecutive time.
