If The PDP Doesn’t Act Right, Parties Like The ADC Will Take Over The Role Of The Opposition – Sowunmi

Nigeria’s political landscape is facing a potential shake-up as veteran Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain, Segun Sowunmi, issued a stern warning that if the party doesn’t fix its internal problems, smaller parties like the African Democratic Congress (ADC) could rise to take its place as the main opposition.

Speaking in a television interview on Wednesday, Sowunmi expressed deep concern over the PDP’s ongoing leadership disputes, legal battles, and structural weaknesses. Ohh Wait… Watch Video Now.

According to him, while recent Court of Appeal rulings have clarified some legal issues, they do not automatically restore the party’s political strength. For Nigerians closely watching the political chessboard, insiders say there are shocking hidden moves shaping the PDP’s future — and some say the truth is unfolding quietly behind the scenes discover what’s really happening.

Sowunmi pointed to poor handling of zoning arrangements — the system meant to balance power across Nigeria’s regions — as a major cause of disunity within the party. “If you ignore zoning, you frustrate members and create divisions,” he said, stressing that internal disputes have already caused governors and prominent members to leave the party.

He warned that the absence of unity and clear direction could open the door for other parties, like the African Democratic Congress, to expand their influence and assume the role of the opposition. Sowunmi’s words are a wake-up call to a party that has been central to Nigeria’s democracy since 1998: act fast or risk losing relevance.
