The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) South-West Chairman, Kamorudeen Ajisafe, has declared that the party will win more states and National Assembly seats in the 2027 general elections. Speaking in a statement on Tuesday, Ajisafe said the internal crisis within the PDP would soon be resolved, allowing the party to reclaim dominance in the South-West and across Nigeria. He attributed the anticipated victory to ongoing efforts by party stakeholders to support aspirants and ensure unity. Ajisafe highlighted the achievements of Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde, citing the circular road and other major projects as evidence of strong governance. He stated that Makinde enjoys widespread support from the people and traditional rulers, making re-election likely. The PDP South-West Chairman warned against attempts to incite traditional institutions against Makinde, calling such moves unacceptable. Ajisafe also expressed confidence in the party's candidate in Ekiti State, asserting that the PDP has a strong presence across Nigeria and will shock critics in 2027. The party has faced internal divisions since 2023, with factions led by Minister Nyesom Wike on one side and Governors Seyi Makinde and Bala Mohammed on the other. Separate conventions have produced parallel National Working Committees, deepening the rift.
Kamorudeen Ajisafe claims PDP will win big in 2027, yet offers no plan to resolve the very crisis splitting the party. His praise for Seyi Makinde's projects in Oyo does nothing to reconcile the faction that rejected those same projects' funding source. If unity is coming, it is not clear how competing National Working Committees will merge. Nigerians in the South-West will judge the PDP not by promises of victory, but by whether it can first stop fighting itself.
