Professor Abiodun Adeniyi, a Communications scholar at Baze University in Abuja, warned that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is undergoing a deep internal crisis, intensified by the influence of Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike. Speaking on Arise Television’s Prime Time programme, Adeniyi described the party’s cohesion as broken and its morale at an “abysmal low,” arguing that without addressing this fundamental damage, any attempts at revitalisation will be futile.
Adeniyi cautioned that undermining Wike’s influence within the PDP could further hinder the party’s progress. He noted that the PDP has recently lost major stakeholders to rival parties such as the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and the All Progressives Congress (APC), underscoring the urgency of internal reconciliation. The professor urged the party to engage in dialogue and conciliation, particularly with the faction led by Wike, warning that failure to do so could accelerate the party’s decline.
The current crisis is a major concern for the PDP, which has struggled to recover from previous setbacks. Its ability to resolve internal disputes and rebuild its structures will be decisive for its future prospects. As Adeniyi emphasized, the party must prioritize mending its broken spirit and restoring internal cohesion to move forward.
Political analysts and observers are closely monitoring the PDP’s response to these challenges, recognizing that the outcome will have significant implications for Nigeria’s broader political landscape in the coming months.
