In a recent interview with The Sun, human rights activist and public commentator, Senator Shehu Sani, shared his insights on the future of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its prospects in the 2027 presidential election. Sani's comments highlighted the challenges facing the opposition party, particularly the internal divisions that threaten its unity and chances in the upcoming election.
When asked about the possibility of Atiku Abubakar and the PDP uniting to challenge the current administration in 2027, Sani acknowledged their efforts but expressed skepticism about their success. He noted that the party is currently "on its clutches," indicating its weakened state due to internal conflicts.
The interviewer interrupted, asking if the party was not in a "coma" instead, to which Sani clarified that the PDP's situation is indeed dire. He pointed out that the party's factions, including the G5, still hold significant influence and territory, making unity a distant prospect.
Sani's remarks suggest that the PDP's internal struggles may hinder its ability to present a united front in the 2027 election. He warned that if the party fails to address its internal divisions, it may not have a candidate for the presidential election.
In his own words, "On the very fact that the G5 are still holding a section of the territory and the main party is holding a section of the territory. So, they are insurgents that are in that party, holding territories and how that party can unite is only a case of only tomorrow can answer. And if care is not taken, I may not be wrong to say that PDP may end up without a candidate for the 2027 general election.“
