Senator Gabriel Suswam has issued a stark warning about the way forward for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), saying the celebration might collapse earlier than the 2027 elections if its leaders fail to take decisive motion.
Showing on Come up TV’s The Morning Present on Tuesday, Could 13, the previous Benue State governor painted a troubling image of a celebration in deep misery.
“Lots of people are hanging on, ready to see the final word finish of this celebration,” Suswam mentioned, including that many members have already misplaced religion and worry the PDP won’t survive for much longer.
The celebration is presently caught in a management tussle over the place of nationwide secretary. That disaster comes on the heels of a wave of defections, most notably in Delta State, the place Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, his predecessor Senator Ifeanyi Okowa, and different outstanding PDP figures not too long ago joined the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Suswam mentioned the PDP is now in a fragile state and likened it to a critically unwell affected person.
“Whether or not there’s gentle on the finish of the tunnel within the efforts made by Senator Saraki might be seen within the subsequent two weeks,” he mentioned.
“For now, I might say that PDP, is it within the hospital? Sure. Is it within the ICU to some extent? Sure, it’s. Can or not it’s rescued? Sure, if the correct medication is utilized.”
He was referring to the efforts by former Senate President Bukola Saraki, who’s working alongside present and former PDP governors to carry the celebration collectively.
In response to Suswam, the celebration’s survival now relies on whether or not that intervention succeeds. If it doesn’t, he warned, “then the probabilities of survival are very slim.”
