The Senior Political Assistant to former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, Demola Olarewaju, has stated that the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP) is no longer a force in national politics.
Naijaonpoint reports that Olarewaju, while featuring on the ‘Mic On’ podcast on Saturday, opined that the PDP has lost national relevance and is no longer fit for purpose.
He said, “The PDP no longer the force it once was and no longer has the drive, the PDP today has become a mere vehicle to satisfy ethnic desires.
“I think the PDP has lost national relevance, I think the PDP will still remain a force in certain states but as far as National politics is concern, the PDP is no longer fit for purpose.”
Olarewaju also suggested that President Bola Tinubu will lose the 2027 election if Atiku and former President, Goodluck Jonathan, run for the presidency on different platforms.
Asked if Jonathan runs on the platform of the PDP and Atiku runs on the African Democratic Congress (ADC) platform, what happens to Tinubu, he responds: “APC loses. The APC will have no base in the (2027 election) if Jonathan runs on the PDP and Atiku or someone else runs in the ADC.”
He added, “If Goodluck Jonathan can come into the primaries and contest in a competitive primaries and he wins, we all will support him.”
