  The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is facing a critical juncture as it grapples with a significant wave of defections that threaten its stability and influence ahead of the 2027 general elections. In response to this crisis, the National Working Committee (NWC) of the PDP has convened an emergency meeting scheduled for Tuesday, April 29, 2025, to address the ongoing defections and the internal strife that has plagued the party for years. Recent Defections and Party Dynamics The urgency of the meeting stems from the dramatic exits from the party, notably the defection of former vice presidential candidate Ifeanyi Okowa and Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, as well as the entire PDP structure in Delta State.

His call for solidarity is particularly timely and resonant, especially following Remo Stars' victory in the Nigeria Premier League. Sani passionately argues that regardless of whether a fan supports international giants like Real Madrid, Barcelona, Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester Uni...
