Despite the recent departure of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and his 2023 running mate Ifeanyi Okowa, Senate Minority Leader Abba Moro has expressed confidence that the PDP will bounce back and re-emerge stronger.

This was stated by Moro, the senatorial representative for Benue South, during an interview on Channels Television’s political affairs show Sunday Politics.

Without holding back, the legislator called Atiku and Okowa’s exit from the party “good riddance to bad rubbish.”

He charged that both persons were involved in the internal turmoil that shook the PDP after the general election in 2023, which caused the party to lose its hold on the president.

“Good riddance to bad rubbish,” Moro declared, accusing the two of being responsible for the party’s division following the election.

Although he acknowledged that their participation in the internal strife hurt the PDP’s organization and electoral prospects, he was upbeat about the party’s prospects in their absence.

Moro asserted that the PDP can recover, restructure, and assume a strong opposition role in the run-up to the 2027 elections.

Instead of focusing on recent defections, he asked party members who were still committed to the party to continue working toward reconstruction.

The senator also took advantage of the occasion to stress the significance of upholding the unspoken North-South rotating agreement in Nigeria’s presidential election and to caution political parties from putting up northern candidates in 2027.

Referencing the PDP’s choice to nominate Atiku Abubakar to succeed former President Muhammadu Buhari, both from the northern area, Moro insisted that Nigerians had already rejected a north-to-north power transition in the 2023 elections.

As a result of the adoption of the African Democratic Party (ADC) by prominent political figures such as Atiku, Peter Obi, David Mark, Rauf Aregbesola, Rotimi Amaechi, and Nasir El-Rufai as a common platform to challenge the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2027, the opposition is currently reorganizing under a new banner.

Even in the face of fresh alliance, Moro is still hopeful that the PDP can regain the ground it has lost.
