The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has continued to lose its stamina as the main opposition party in Nigeria. Having lost to the All Progressives Congress, APC, in 2015, the party has struggled ever since, losing some of its states to the ruling party.
In this interview with DAILY POST, Segun Sowunmi , former campaign spokesman of the party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, and ex-governorship candidate in Ogun State, says the PDP might not have lost the 2023 presidential election if it had Atiku and the current Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike as flag bearers. He also weighs the possibility of an Atiku-Peter Obi or Atiku-Wike ticket in 2023.
There are those who feel that some people left the party and caused the party to lose an election in 2015 and there are those who believe that 2019 should have been zoned to another part of the country, so what are they talking about, and there are those who believe that one man in the person of the former Governor of Rivers State is the issue and I do not agree.
