The Kano State Chairman of the New Nigeria People’s Party, NNPP, Hashim Dungurawa, has declared the end of the road for the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, describing the party as an empty house.

He cited recent defections of it prominent members to the African Democratic Congress, ADC, and others as proof that PDP is politically dead.

Dungurawa asked: “How can a serious party allow its own presidential candidate to leave the party? It means the party is not in place.

“And how can the party also allow its own vice presidential candidate to go to another party again? Are you not aware that Okowa has joined APC now, while Atiku is in ADC?”

He stated these while speaking with newsmen in Kano. He asserted that PDP’s collapse is now visible with the defection of its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, his Vice, Ifeanyi Okowa among others.

According to him, “There is no PDP in Kano State. Even to see an APC person in Kano is difficult. There’s only one party in Kano State.

“We have NNPP as a party and we have Kwankwasiyya as an organisation where people are trooping into.”

On claims by the Kano PDP that it is bouncing back and forming a formidable force, the NNPP party Chairman said, “You are bouncing to come back to the field or you are bouncing to go out of the field.


“So, they (PDP) are bouncing to go out of the field. They are nowhere to be found. By physical, by analysis, by the personalities they put in place as the leaders of the party. It tells they are not ready to come back to Kano and even in Nigeria as a party.

“Because if you could remember, some two years back, I remained the Vice Chairman of the party here in Kano State, Kano North. And by inclination, I happen to be the Principal Officer of the party. And whatever decision is taken, either in the state or in the national, we must be around because the city will acquire it.

“Till then, I understand that PDP will not go anywhere. Because leadership, they are not out for victory but for victimisation. They are out for witch-hunting. They are out for mischief. They are out for sycophancy.

“Nobody is doing PDP for its success. That is why we look at them and say, are they the people that are going to manage the party?

“And the issue of ADC, that is enough to tell you that PDP is not organized. It’s not in place. I think the Atiku you just mentioned now who joined the ADC is from the PDP.


“So, if you want to mention PDP structure or people that are influential in PDP, who are they? You will start with the presidential candidate.

“Atiku, he is no longer there. His vice, Okowa is no longer there. Even the people that conducted the primaries before the 2023 general election, Amaechi, is now in ADC.

“Wike is there. He is now partly in PDP, partly in APC. This is to tell you that they are now left with empty house.

“So, nobody left in PDP now. Only people that has nothing to do with their this and that. That’s why you find them there.”

CooldipoMPS:
Tables do turn true true.....tueh for the biggest party in Africa

Brendaniel:
Thanks to Wike, Atiku and Tinubu, they have successfully destroyed PDP

OSUNADC:
Wike and his G5 goons ,in cahoot with Tinubu made that happen; Atiku with his troops finally buried it.

Validated:
Wike wanted a party, now he got a party. He should give himself the presidential ticket and appoint anyone as his vice. If he wins 5 local government, he tried.

Wike MUST contest

Tjra:
Don't also forget to thank Obi who packed some of thier supporters away.

sleek214:
Too bad, Atiku left and it became an empty house . I thought Wike claim to be bigger than Atiku by buying all NWC members. He should keep the party.. Surprisingly Wike has stopped talking.

Softmirror:
What I know is, PDP will teach those invaders of ADC a lesson the will never forget. Dem go collect both from inside and from outside.

RenoOkriTheGoat:
All of a sudden, APC online agents have turned to PDP supporters. Tueh! That shows everyone that PDP is now an extension of APC. What a shame.

Holdup247:
you are just a kid, let me ask you a simple question? Are you a COWARD? Have you ever been BETRAYED by your close ally? Have you ever stood up for your brothers and fought for your brothers and they later ganged up to deny you of your father's inheritance? Have you ever trained any of your family member in school and he woke one faithful day to join your enemies to fight you... WIKE was highly betrayed, tambuwal, uche secondus and Atiku betrayed WIKE and the Niger Delta people who has always stood up for the north... If it was the turn of the south Atiku should have stepped aside for WIKE, but greed and envy didn't let Atiku and tambuwal know and remember that WIKE deserve to be rewarded for his loyalty to the party he layed down his life for when Atiku and tambuwal dumped the party in 2014 that resulted in late buhari's win against goodluck Jonathan...

The story of the PDP is a tragic one, a cautionary tale of how a political party, consumed by corruption, turned into a refuge for opportunists and empty minds. It lost all sense of vision, innovation, or strategy to function as a credible opposition.

Morenikeji090:
The bad eggs have left if there is still bad ones they will leave also... So as pdp is now is really the best formation to bounce back fast coz the rotten eggs are no where to be found in pdp again...

Typing:
The heavy weight Politicians in PDP havve left. Only Wike, Makinde, Ortom, Nwanyawu, Ikpeazu and Damagun are left. In 2027, Wike will contest for President under PDP, Makinde will be vice. They won't get up to a thousand vote.
In 2027 on Atiku s mandate we stand.

Brendaniel:
Thanks to Wike, Atiku and Tinubu, they have successfully destroyed PDP

Walai:
PDP even tried by still existing years after losing power. APC will cease to exist 6mths after losing power

Cromagnon:

Exactly. Most of them have already decamped to APC and if PDP wins tomorrow, they'll jump right back.
Same set of people switching jerseys. No real ideology, just power games. No wonder there is no impactful change
