Atiku Set For PDP Comeback After Convention Shakeup – Party Insider Reveals Sh*cking Plan

Former National Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Ibrahim Tsauri, has stated that the outcome of the party’s upcoming convention will determine whether the PDP survives or collapses.

In an interview with Punch, Tsauri expressed optimism that prominent figures who recently distanced themselves from the party, including former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, could return if the convention proves successful.

Tsauri, a prominent member of the Uche Secondus-led National Working Committee, emphasized that although Atiku has resigned from the PDP, he is yet to officially join another political party.

According to him:

“If our meeting scheduled for July 23, 2025, results in a successful convention, the PDP will continue to stand strong as a major force in Nigeria’s political space. The convention is a make-or-break moment for the party.”

He added,

“A successful convention that produces competent and credible leaders may encourage Atiku and others who left to return. Nigerians should take note—while Atiku has resigned, he hasn’t aligned himself with any other political platform, keeping the door open for a possible comeback.”

Reacting to reported comments from Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde, who allegedly claimed Atiku’s exit wouldn’t affect PDP’s future, Tsauri disagreed.

“Thinking Atiku’s resignation is an opportunity for a PDP rebirth is simply unrealistic. In a democracy, opinions are valid, but the truth remains that Atiku was a central figure in the PDP for years. His departure is a serious blow,” he said.

He urged the PDP to focus on organizing a credible convention to regain lost ground.

“If we get it right at the convention, many who have stepped aside—like Atiku—might return. Some leaders are simply waiting to see the quality of leadership that emerges before deciding on their next move,” Tsauri concluded.
