PDP Still A Threat in 2027 – Segun Sowunmi Speaks Out

Segun Sowunmi, a prominent member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has stated that the opposition party remains a force to be reckoned with ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Speaking on Thursday during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Sowunmi acknowledged the leadership challenges that have plagued the PDP since the 2023 elections but insisted that the party still commands significant support.

He said, “PDP has a groundswell and cannot be ruled out in the 2027 elections. You just have to wait until the whistle is blown. Let the PDP resolve its internal court matters and stabilise itself, and then you will see the strength of a party with 27 years of political experience. That is what our slogan ‘power’ truly signifies. I’m not saying they are guaranteed to win, but you can never discount them.”

Meanwhile, Abubakar Atiku Abubakar, son of former Vice President and 2023 PDP presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar, officially defected from the PDP to the All Progressives Congress (APC). His move was announced on Thursday at the National Assembly.
