The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is facing increasing internal strife as the ambitions of key figures, including former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed, and Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde, threaten to derail ongoing reconciliation efforts.
Factions have emerged within the party, primarily divided between supporters of Atiku and those aligned with Minister Nyesom Wike.
Mohammed’s recent announcement of his presidential aspirations for 2027 has added to the party’s turmoil, as he previously expressed willingness to withdraw his candidacy if former President Goodluck Jonathan returned to the party.

Critics within the PDP are placing blame on Atiku for the party’s struggles, with some asserting that his leadership has failed to unite the party after its 2023 election loss.
Meanwhile, Makinde has publicly refrained from declaring his candidacy but has warned that the upcoming election will be a contest between the ruling APC and the Nigerian populace.
The APC has seized the opportunity to criticize Makinde, urging him to focus on governance rather than his presidential ambitions, arguing that his preoccupation with national politics is detrimental to Oyo State’s interests.
