Former Delta State Governor Ifeanyi Okowa has expressed deep regret over accepting the role of Atiku Abubakar’s running mate in 2023, revealing it went against his people’s wishes — and now says Atiku may soon dump the PDP.
- Okowa said his decision to run with Atiku in 2023 was “against the will” of his people.
- He admitted Southern leaders wanted power to rotate to the South.
- Okowa now says, “Atiku will soon leave PDP,” hinting at possible internal fractures.
- He implied Atiku may be exploring a new party platform ahead of 2027.
- The former governor acknowledged that the PDP is currently “not ready for 2027.”
Okowa’s confession signals a deeper unrest in the PDP as the 2027 race looms. His open regret not only highlights the tension between personal ambition and regional loyalty but also raises questions about the party’s unity. Suggesting that Atiku might soon exit the PDP adds a fresh layer of uncertainty — and could reshape opposition politics in the coming years.
With regrets and warnings from within, is the PDP heading for another internal shake-up before 2027?
