Former Ekiti State governor and chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, Ayodele Fayose, has predicted a bleak future for the party, warning that it may not even finish among the top three in the 2027 general elections.

Speaking on a televised broadcast, Fayose stated that at the rate the PDP was going, the party would manage to come fourth with prayers in the 2027 election.

The outspoken politician attributed the party’s downward trajectory to internal crises, lack of cohesion, defection of key members and failure to evolve a credible strategy that resonates with Nigerians.

The former governor condemned the way the PDP is being run by the leaders of the party, saying the PDP has been left in a carcass with the defection of key members from the party.

He accused the leadership of the party of undermining him despite his sacrifices and commitment to the development of the party.
