2027: Unite or lose presidential bid – PDP warned
yarkarkara
The National Legal Adviser of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Kamaldeen Ajibade, has issued a stern warning to the party to unite and solve its internal crisis or kiss the 2027 presidential election goodbye.
Ajibade gave this warning at the PDP National Restoration Movement National Summit in Abuja, where he and other party leaders addressed members on the need for reconciliation and unity.
“A fractured PDP cannot heal a fractured nation. It is only when we restore internal harmony and democracy that we can credibly present ourselves as the alternative Nigeria desperately seeks,” Ajibade said.
According to him, party insiders are concerned that if disputes in the party are not resolved, they could resurface before 2027 and further weaken the PDP’s ability to challenge the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.
He recalled the PDP’s achievements during its time in government, which include stabilising democracy, attracting foreign investment, and introducing reforms in telecommunications, banking, and pensions under former President Olusegun Obasanjo.
“A house divided against itself cannot stand. A divided PDP cannot win elections. A divided PDP cannot save Nigeria.
“Unity requires sacrifice. We must place Nigeria above personal ambition. Ambition is not a sin, but when ambition threatens the core values and existence of the party we have all built, it becomes destructive,” he added.
