Like the majority of party supporters, Abdullahi blamed the PDP’s electoral defeat in 2023 on a number of circumstances, including Peter Obi and Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso’s departure to rival parties just months before the presidential election.
He, however, expressed confidence that the party’s overtures to these political heavyweights who were once members of the PDP family will bear the desired fruit before 2027.
Abdullahi said, “We have lost Kwankwaso, we have lost Peter Obi — all of these people — imagine if they are in the party, we will have gone to win the elections,” he said.

According to him, discussions are ongoing to bring Peter Obi, Presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) and Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso his counterpart in the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) in the 2023 general elections back to PDP before the 2027 elections…….Read Full Article
