The Coalition for Kaduna Political Groups (KPG) has expressed concern over the internal crisis ravaging the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and warned it may affect outcome of 2027 election.
In a statement signed by the Convener, Ibrahim Murtala Kachia, Co-Convener Solomon Jacob Maiyaki, PRO Dr. Victor Bobai and the Secretary General Mrs Daniel Blessing, the group said the internal struggles, leadership crises, erosion of trust, and divisions within the PDP have raised significant questions about its viability as a credible opposition party.
The group said recent developments in Kaduna, particularly in Southern Kaduna, have underscored the growing disillusionment with the PDP, even as it
lamented that the departure of prominent figures and their supporters from the party highlights an urgent need for reevaluation.
It said the PDP’s failure to present a unified front, effectively address internal conflicts, and provide tangible benefits to its supporters has contributed to a decline in its popularity.
In contrast, the statement said the All Progressives Congress (APC) has exhibited a more cohesive internal structure, demonstrating an ability to respond effectively to the nation’s challenges.
The group warned that the political landscape in Southern Kaduna may soon witness figures like Senator Danjuma Laah, Engr. Andrew Yakubu, Joseph Gumbari, and thousands of their supporters reconsidering their allegiances, adding that “the collective exodus reflects a broader sentiment: the PDP, once regarded as a stronghold of political power, now struggles to deliver tangible benefits to its supporters”.
“The focus on party leadership without the promise of influencing governance, especially regarding crucial positions like the governorship, raises pertinent questions about loyalty to a party that increasingly appears ineffective. The message is clear: the status quo is no longer viable,” the group said.
The group equally observed that “if a party cannot present a unified front, it undermines its ability to articulate a compelling alternative to the electorate, leaving voters skeptical of a party incapable of resolving its own conflicts”.
