On Wednesday, Segun Sowunmi, a former campaign spokesperson and ally of former PDP presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar, questioned how the party would fare in the wake of what he called the African Democratic Congress’s (ADC) second stroke.
According to Sowunmi, the PDP has weathered the initial blow from the G-5 group of governors.
The G-5, headed by Nyesom Wike, the governor of Rivers at the time, opposed the PDP and its candidate, Atiku Abubakar, during the 2023 presidential term.
Samuel Ortom, the governor of Benue State at the time, backed Peter Obi, the candidate of the Labour Party, while Wike and four other governors in the group served Tinubu, a member of the All Progressives Congress, or APC.
In the meantime, the ADC was recently embraced by the opposition coalition.
Posting on X, Sowunmi said: “PDP seems to have survived the first stroke caused by G-5.
“Let us hope it can survive the second stroke caused by ADC.
“To pretend not to see their efforts is madness. @OfficialPDPNig, there is more to energizing a party than what the present handlers are doing.”
