I’ve Told Myself, If Seyi Makinde Doesn’t Set Foot In Wike’s Bloc Convention, I Will Not Go–Showunmi

Drama is heating up in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as Segun Showunmi, a gubernatorial hopeful in Ogun State, has revealed he may boycott the party’s upcoming convention linked to Nyesom Wike.

In a video shared by Arise TV, Showunmi said his attendance depends entirely on whether Seyi Makinde shows up. Ohh Wait… Watch Video Now.

Makinde, a key PDP figure in the South-West, has already indicated he will not attend, but Showunmi believes his presence is crucial. “I have told myself over the night that if Seyi Makinde doesn’t set foot in there, I will not go,” Showunmi said. “The simple reason is that I’m very clear… he is the strongest example of good leadership in the zone and shows that the PDP can deliver governance people can trust.”

Showunmi explained that attending the convention without such a high-profile figure would weaken the party’s image and make it harder to attract voter support. His statement has already stirred heated debates among party members and political watchers, highlighting growing tensions and factional divides within the PDP ahead of the 2027 elections.

Insiders now hint that there could be hidden moves and strategic alliances at play that most Nigerians aren’t aware of yet — and these could reshape the party’s fortunes. Get the shocking inside details here: see the full update.
