Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has slim chances of taking over power both at states and Federal levels in 2023, a chieftain of the party Alhaji Umar Sani has said.

Sani, who was the Special Adviser on Media to the immediate past vice President, Architect Namadi Sambo, said this at a media briefing in Kaduna on Wednesday.

He said the PDP is currently facing a lot of challenges which has led to the factionalisation of the party at almost all levels including Kaduna State.

He said in Kaduna, the PDP has three groups – Senator Ahmed Makarfi’s faction, his boss Architect Namadi Sambo’s faction and the Restoration movement.

Sani, a founding member of the party, added that if the PDP in Kaduna State fails to address the issues which resulted into factionalisation and put its house in order, it will be difficult to take over power from the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC).

At the national level, he said the PDP governors have also hijacked the party and that their action resulted in forceful removal of the party national Chaiman, Chief Uche Secondus, who is challenging his removal in court.

“If Uche Secondus wins his case in court, it means the national convention and the executives produced from it will be null and void, which will be a major setback for the party and its chances in 2023.

“If PDP does not check its excesses and put its house in order, it will affect the chances of coming back to power.”

He lamented the increase insecurity in the country and called on the federal government to find a lasting solution to the problem.
