APC May Sink Under Its Own Weight!” – PDP Chieftain Sounds Alarm Over Mass Defections

The Deputy National Youth Leader of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Timothy Osadolor, has voiced optimism that the recent discussions involving the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, PDP governors, and other party stakeholders will help reposition the party for greater unity and strength.

Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, represented PDP governors during a key meeting with Wike held last week in Lagos.

The meeting addressed the lingering political tensions in Rivers State involving Wike and suspended Governor Sim Fubara. It also tackled concerns surrounding the South-South zonal leadership, the vacant National Secretary position, and other contentious issues aimed at balancing interests across party factions.

In an interview with PUNCH, Osadolor revealed that the PDP leadership is actively engaged in consultations and strategic efforts to rejuvenate the party.

Commenting on the recent wave of defections to the All Progressives Congress (APC), Osadolor likened the ruling party to an overloaded ship, warning that it is only a matter of time before it either sinks or capsizes.

“Our leaders are working tirelessly—numerous meetings have been held, and more are on the way. The PDP will not only recover but will reclaim its rightful place in the political landscape,” he stated.

“There is a growing movement taking shape. People are beginning to speak up and show renewed interest in the PDP. I believe it will become increasingly clear that this is the party of the future.

“As for the APC, it’s like a ship with limited capacity. The more people try to climb aboard, the more unstable it becomes. It’s not a question of if, but when it will collapse under its own weight,” he added.
