A Chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP has revealed that the party may not win the 2027 election if wrongs are not corrected.
The party chieftain, in Lagos State, Niyi Adams, urged the party to forget the election if it cannot enforce discipline among its members.
Adams, who is a former State Youth Leader, stated this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, on Monday in Lagos.
He said that it would be difficult for the former ruling party to make a comeback in 2027 if it continued to condone indiscipline and anti-party activities.
The Director, Campaign and Strategy, the PDP in the 2023 governorship election, further said that the party must stand up against indiscipline and anti-party activities that had continued to weaken its fold since it lost power in 2015.
“While some believe that anti-party activities should be a norm, the party leadership should not condone it any longer, so as to brighten PDP chances in 2027.
“I am not averse to reconciliation, but I am only averse to reconciliation without setting boundaries. If we don’t set boundaries, that same thing will happen again.
“We have been reconciling since, we cannot keep doing the same thing and expect different results.
“It’s either we get it right by reconciling and enforcing party discipline, or we will all see the implications and the consequences in 2027,” Adams said.
According to him, reconciliation without instilling party discipline will amount to a sheer waste of time and will not yield positive results.
He urged the party and its leaders to forget events that happened in the 2023 general elections and move on.
The chieftain, who described the current situation in the party as unfortunate, said that Nigerians were waiting for PDP to rescue them.
Alleging involvement of external forces in the crisis facing PDP, Adams said there must be consequences for everybody’s actions in the party.
