Former Benue State Governor, Senator Gabriel Suswam, has raised the alarm that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is in critical condition of survival before the 2027 elections.
Suswam stated this on Arise TV’s The Morning Show on Tuesday, adding that the party needs urgent fixing to avoid it from collapsing.
He said “a lot of people are hanging on, waiting to see the ultimate end of this party,” adding that many members have lost hope and believe the party might not survive.
According to him, efforts by the committee headed by ex-Senate President Bukola Saraki, PDP governors and former governors, could save the party.
He said, “Whether there is light at the end of the tunnel in the efforts being made by Senator Saraki will be seen in the next two weeks. For now, I would say that the PDP is it in the hospital? Yes. Is it in the ICU to some extent? Yes, it is. Can it be rescued? Yes, if the proper medicine is applied.”
He likened the PDP to a patient in the Intensive Care Unit whose survival chances are 50-50. If Saraki’s team fails, he warned, the party may not survive.
The PDP currently battling over who should be the national secretary is faced with a gale of defections.
