Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party PDP Reconciliation Committee and former Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki, has warned that more defections from the party may still occur, even as efforts continue to reposition the party ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Saraki made this known during an interview on Arise TV on Friday.
He said, PDP would likely see one or two more defections, and we should prepare ourselves for that there is a possibility. We havent seen the worst of the defections for PDP. We would probably see maybe one or two governors who will defect, and we might see some senators who will defect.
He, however, described the timing of the crisis as an advantage, arguing that it gives the PDP time to recover and rebuild before the election cycle begins in full swing.
For some of us, this happening early in PDP is an advantage. We are lucky that this is not happening, lets say, late 2026 we would not even have had time to recover and regroup, he said.
