Public Affairs Commentator predicts PDP inevitable death

By Lateef Ibrahim

A political and public affairs analyst, Mojeed Dahiru, has said that there is no way the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP), can survive, insisting that the party will die completely.

Dahiru was on Channels Television monitored in Abuja where he discussed the issues of opposition politics in Nigeria, especially what is happening in the PDP.

Recall that the PDP members gathered in Abuja recently, hoping that they will advance the interest of the party, settle some of the scores and grievances, but it all proved abortive as it appeared.

As the crisis in the party brews, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, came out to vow that he will fight to the finish.

Speaking on issues surrounding the party, Dahiru said, “The PDP is a dying party. You see, the Bible says the wages of sin is death. So the PDP is dying because it committed a mortal sin in 2023 and I cannot say this enough.

“When the PDP jettison zoning prior to the 2023 president election, when it was supposed to seed the ticket to the South, which supposed to be its most consistent support base, and opted to pick a northerner, the PDP committed a mortal sin.

“That sin, the wages of that sin is death. I don’t see PDP surviving as a party beyond 2027 because you see when Atiku happened to the PDP, he developed a wicked problem.

“So, it was Atiku submission that killed the PDP effectively. So what we can simply be doing is conducting its final rites of passage, and rightly so, because the PDP committed the sin, immortal one, and unfortunately, the party has not repented of that sin and weakness.

“Wike would not have intended to be an undertaker [taking the PDP to its grave] but you see, there are causes and effects. To every action, there is equal opposite reaction. So the actions of the northern flank of the PDP, led by Atiku and others, is the reaction we are seeing by Wike.

“So these actions and inactions will invariably lead to the final burial of the PDP.”
