Furthermore, Fubara’s alleged sponsorship of another party in the local government council elections has drawn criticism, with Abdulahi labeling it a clear case of anti-party activity. The Chairman of the PDP Governors’ Forum also faces scrutiny for attending the swearing-in ceremony of opposition local government chairmen.
Abdulahi emphasized that the PDP will not tolerate such actions, warning that disciplinary measures may be taken against those involved. The party’s unity and discipline are being tested, particularly in Rivers State, where the PDP risks losing control to the Action Peoples Party (APP).
The crisis within the PDP has raised concerns about the party’s ability to maintain control of the state, with Abdulahi acknowledging that losing Rivers would be a significant setback. However, he expressed confidence in the party’s ability to reclaim the state in 2027.
The infighting within the PDP highlights the challenges faced by the party in maintaining internal cohesion and discipline, potentially impacting its performance in future elections.CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
