A former lawmaker representing Jos South/East Federal Constituency, Dachung Bagos, has expressed doubt about the recovery of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Naijaonpoint reports that Bagos, during an interview on Channels Television’s breakfast programme on Monday, said the party’s internal crisis and disregard for due process have created uncertainty for aspirants.
According to Bagos, PDP members in Jos are waiting for the direction of Plateau State Governor, Caleb Mutfwang, to determine the next line of action should the PDP fail to resolve its issues before the polls.
He also faulted the suspension and expulsion procedures used at the convention in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, stressing that the party failed to set up a disciplinary committee before taking action.
He said: “But I can tell you for now, the leader of the ‘Plateau People’s Party’, His Excellency Barr. Caleb Muftwang. We are waiting for his direction to see which of the registered parties to move to, if the PDP fails to fix itself before the election. Definitely we will hear from him. But for now, you see, we must tell ourselves the truth.
“For now, I don’t see any light at the end of the tunnel for the PDP coming towards the general election, especially for anybody that will contest elections, because how can two things happen just within three weeks or one month?
“Number one, you sold only one form, just for the chairmanship election. The court said there wasn’t due process. Number two, there was supposed to have been a disciplinary committee before suspending or even expelling someone. But it was just a voice vote within the convention.
“So, when you see due process is not being adhered to, you that are contesting for election, you should be able to think very well, look at and analyse issues, consult with your people and look for a way forward.
“We shouldn’t be political with the truth. For me, I’ve always told my people the truth. So for now, as it is, I don’t see the light at the end of the tunnel.”
