The National Legal Adviser of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Kamaldeen Ajibade, has issued a stark warning that the party must urgently resolve its internal disputes to avoid jeopardizing its chances in the upcoming 2027 presidential election.
Ajibade delivered this message during the PDP National Restoration Movement National Summit held in Abuja, where party leaders and members discussed the importance of reconciliation and the future of the party.
He emphasized that only a united PDP can serve as a credible alternative to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). “A fractured PDP cannot heal a fractured nation. It is only when we restore internal harmony and democracy that we can credibly present ourselves as the alternative Nigeria desperately seeks,” Ajibade stated.
The legal adviser cautioned that unresolved disputes within the party could resurface as the election approaches, undermining the opposition’s ability to effectively challenge the APC.
Ajibade reminded party members of the PDP’s historical achievements, highlighting reforms and policies initiated under former President Olusegun Obasanjo. “Under PDP, Nigeria stabilized democracy, attracted foreign investment, and reformed telecommunications, banking, and pensions. These are legacies we must not allow infighting to erase,” he asserted.
He urged party members to prioritize unity over personal interests, stating, “A house divided against itself cannot stand. A divided PDP cannot win elections. A divided PDP cannot save Nigeria.”
Ajibade concluded by emphasizing that unity requires sacrifice, urging members to place the nation above personal ambitions. “Ambition is not a sin, but when ambition threatens the core values and existence of the party we have all built, it becomes destructive,” he warned.
The summit concluded with renewed calls for reconciliation among the party’s factions as the PDP intensifies its preparations for the 2027 elections.
