In the 2027 general elections, Kamorudeen Ajisafe, the South-West Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, has expressed hope that the party will gain additional states and seats in the National Assembly in the area and nationwide.
In a statement released on Tuesday, Ajisafe declared that the party’s current problem will soon be overcome and that the PDP would once again take the lead in Nigeria and the South-West.
He spoke at a time when the nation’s once-dominant ruling party was being weakened by ongoing internal conflicts.
The PDP has, since 2023, been battling internal rifts, with the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, leading a faction, while Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, and his Bauchi State counterpart, Bala Mohammed, leading the party.
The two factions have held separate conventions and produced parallel National Working Committee members to steer the affairs of the party.
However, Ajisafe maintained that with efforts being put in place by stakeholders to ensure that PDP aspirants are not stranded, there is no doubt that the “consolidated efforts” will deliver a tangible electoral victory for the party in 2027.
The PDP leader declared, The PDP chieftain said, “I will continue to say that those expecting PDP to die will be disappointed. I know for a fact that this crisis will soon end, and after that, we will bounce back. I can assure you that PDP will win more states and National Assembly seats in the South-West and across the country.
“With Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde’s accomplishments, do you think any other party will defeat him? Look at the circular road and other monumental projects he has executed. The governor is also popular among his people, and he enjoys the support of the traditional rulers as well.”
Let me take this chance to warn that anybody or any group attempting to incite the traditional institution against Makinde should desist. By every standard, Makinde has raised the bar of governance in Oyo, and with the structure in place in the state, I am confident that the PDP will retain the state.
In Ekiti State, we too have a respectable and well-liked candidate, and all signs point to our victory. In 2027, the PDP will surprise its detractors. You can see that we are well-represented in every state in Nigeria and that we will have a significant victory in 2027.FOLLOW US FOR MORE…
