The signal is becoming clear of the probable implosion of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the buildup to the 2027 General Elections. The political compass of a splitting PDP oscillates between the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, and the leading Opposition African Democratic Congress, ADC.

While the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, is cutting out a pocket of the P:DP for the APC, particularly, for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu; the mainstream PDP, led by Kabiru Tanimu Turaki, SAN, is tilting towards the ADC.

The PDP National Chairman, Kabiru Tanimu Turaki, SAN, in a seeming overture, led a delegation of the party on a solidarity visit to the ADC. According to Turaki, "it was more than just a formal engagement, it was a moment of reflection, shared concern, and a reaffirmation of our collective duty to protect Nigeria’s democracy".

The PDP National Chairman added: "As we sat across from respected leaders such as Atiku Abubakar, David Mark, and Peter Obi, there was a clear and sobering understanding: the challenges facing opposition parties in Nigeria today are real, shared, and demand unity of purpose".

The delegation include Governor Seyi Makinde, former Senate President Adolphus Wabara, PDP BoT Chairman; Prof. Jerry Gana, and others.

Turaki, in a statement, highlighted:

"Today, I had the honour of leading a delegation of our great party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), on a solidarity visit to the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

"It was more than just a formal engagement—it was a moment of reflection, shared concern, and a reaffirmation of our collective duty to protect Nigeria’s democracy.

"As we sat across from respected leaders such as Atiku Abubakar, David Mark, and Peter Obi, there was a clear and sobering understanding: the challenges facing opposition parties in Nigeria today are real, shared, and demand unity of purpose.

"In leading this delegation—which included distinguished figures like His Excellency Seyi Makinde, Adolphus Wabara Former Senate President, and Prof. Jerry Gana — I felt a deep sense of responsibility. Not just to represent the PDP, but to stand in defence of democratic ideals that transcend party lines.

"We spoke candidly about the pressures and political headwinds confronting opposition parties. These are not isolated experiences; they are part of a broader pattern that threatens the very essence of political plurality in our country. And having witnessed similar challenges within our own party, we came not just in solidarity, but in shared resolve.

"What stood out most was the spirit of mutual respect and understanding. Despite our different political platforms, there was a strong consensus: democracy must be protected, voices must not be silenced, and the space for healthy opposition must remain open and vibrant.

"This visit was a reminder that beyond politics, there is a higher responsibility—to Nigeria, to its people, and to the future we all hope to build."
