Social commentator, Isaac Fayose celebrates Atiku Abubakar’s resignation from PDP as he advises Peter Obi to return to the political party to contest.
The former vice president, Atiku Abubakar, it would be recalled, had announced his resignation from the People’s Democratic Party on Wednesday.
Isaac Fayose expressed great excitement at the development, noting that the departure of Atiku would give the PDP a new lease of life and allow the party to reposition itself ahead of the 2027 elections.
He noted that Atiku's repeated movements in and out of the party over the past two decades had caused instability and prolonged internal conflicts, hindering the party’s ability to function effectively as a strong opposition force.
According to Fayose, Atiku’s exit is a blessing in disguise for the party and an opportunity for the southern bloc of the PDP to reclaim leadership without internal competition.
He advised former presidential candidate Peter Obi to seize this opportunity by returning to the PDP, which he described as having the widest national reach and support base, making it the ideal platform for a presidential bid in 2027.
His words …
“Good news Atiku has finally resigned from PDP. Good news! I have been trying to suspend him for years, e nor go. Finally baba don go. Third time in 20 years. This is what they call desperation.
For PDP, the biggest party in Africa, it is a welcome development. The Southerners will not have someone dragging their slot with them. It is a good news the party will have peace now. Third time going and coming, Baba finally don go. We hope e nor go come back this time. Mr Atiku! So you can allow the party because the proper opposition that it is supposed to be.
Atiku’s ambition has grounded the party for too long. I don’t know whether he forgot something in the villa. In and out of PDP, three times in 20 years. what shame!
I hope Obi can come back to PDP now because they have got a lot of spread. I hope Obi can come back now!”
