The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is grappling with a profound leadership crisis, with newspaper columnist Majeed Dahiru describing the party as “like a sick man, suffering from multiple organ failure” and possibly entering its “dying phase.” This stark assessment was made during a segment on Channels Television’s “Sunrise Daily,” as reported by a tweet on June 26, 2025.
Dahiru’s comments is said to come amidst ongoing turmoil within the PDP, including recent warnings from stakeholders demanding respect for court rulings over the party secretaryship. “What we are witnessing is probably the dying phase of the party,” Dahiru stated, reflecting a sentiment of despair among observers of Nigerian politics. This crisis is part of a broader pattern of legal and organizational challenges that have plagued the PDP, especially following its loss in the 2023 presidential election.
The internal conflict has been exacerbated by disputes over leadership positions and the party’s direction, with some stakeholders accusing others of undermining the party’s unity. “The PDP is at a critical juncture, and without swift action, it risks irrelevance,” Dahiru added.
Political analysts note that the PDP’s struggle to maintain relevance is not new, but the current crisis appears more severe due to the lack of a cohesive strategy to address these issues. The party’s inability to present a united front has led to a decline in its influence, with many questioning its future in Nigerian politics.
