The article discusses the challenges faced by the Progressive People's Alliance (PPA) in Nigeria as it approaches the 1983 general elections. A recent meeting of party leaders failed to agree on a common presidential candidate, highlighting tensions between key figures like Abubakar Rimi, Chief Awolowo, and Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe. Rimi expressed concerns about the UPN's commitment to the alliance, suggesting that personal ambitions and historical rivalries are hindering progress. The PPA aims to form a united front to address Nigeria's economic issues and win the upcoming elections, but internal divisions and distrust among its leaders pose significant obstacles.
