Former lawmaker, Shehu Sani, has expressed concern over the declining influence of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, describing the once dominant political party as a shadow of its former self.
Sani made the remark in a post on his X handle while
reacting to the growing defections and internal crises currently affecting the
party.
According to him, the PDP, which once prided itself as “the
biggest party in Africa”, has witnessed a dramatic fall from its previous
stature.
“The once powerful PDP acclaimed to be ‘the biggest party’
in Africa that produced three presidents and thrust powerful people into
positions of authority is now deserted,” he said.
He added that there are significant lessons to be learned
from the party’s current predicament and what he described as its “fatal
decline”.
Sani also suggested that political scientists should conduct
what he termed an “autopsy” on the PDP to determine the causes of its decline.
“The mighty ship is sinking and most of the passengers have
jumped out,” he stated, questioning whether the party’s troubles were caused by
internal miscalculations, external attacks, or other political factors.
“Was the PDP ship hit by a missile, or was it overloaded, or
was it the miscalculations of the captains, or the stormy weather?” he queried.
His comments come amid a wave of defections and ongoing
internal disputes within the party, which have continued to fuel concerns over
the future of the PDP ahead of the 2027 elections.
