PDP A Formidable Opposition, Will Reclaim Power In 2027, Jacob Idinye Replies Aisha Yesufu

A former governorship aspirant in Edo State and chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), High Chief Jacob Idinye has decried comments made by a political activist Aisha Yesufu, adding that the party will continue to remain a firm and united party in the country, while also noting that PDP was already advancing strategies to regain power in 2027.

 

 

 

 

The Etsako born politician made the remarks at the local wing of Lagos airport when accosted by newsmen on Sunday, November 24, 2024.

 

 

 

 

Recall Yesufu had described the PDP as a threat to opposition. She said the party, which ruled Nigeria from 1999 to 2015, was destroyed in 2014 because it became prideful and disconnected from Nigerians.

 

 

 

Yesufu said this in an X post on Saturday evening, November 23, 2024. Her post followed a comment by a member of the House of Representatives, Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere that Minister of Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike wants to destroy the PDP. Yesufu said, “The same PDP we were attacked for is the PDP you now know is destroyed?!”

 

 

 

Idinye in his swift reaction said Yesufu should concentrate on how to salvage her own political Party, (Labour Party) from drowning, according to him, “Aisha Yesufu, a self acclaimed political activist should look inwards and offer advice to her own party which has long been enmeshed in leadership crisis and scandals, with different factions laying claims to legitimacy and control. Same party is also known with numerous litigations which have diminished its credibility, membership and strength in a most reprehensible manner.
