ABUJA – Key figures of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), including former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, are currently in a high-level, closed-door meeting in Abuja to deliberate on the future of the party ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The meeting, taking place at the Transcorp Hilton Hotel, is focused on a critical decision: whether to fully integrate into the proposed 2027 coalition party or retain their individual positions within the PDP while negotiating a broader electoral alliance.
In attendance are prominent party stalwarts, including former Senate President David Mark; former PDP National Chairman, Prince Uche Secondus; and former Governors Sule Lamido (Jigawa), Aminu Tambuwal (Sokoto), Liyel Imoke (Cross River), Babangida Aliyu (Niger), and Sam Egwu (Ebonyi).
Also present are Senator Ben Obi, former PDP National Women Leader Josephine Anenih, former National Organising Secretary Senator Austin Akobundu, ex-National Publicity Secretary Kola Ologbondiyan, and former National Youth Leader Abdullahi Maibasira, among others.
The outcome of the meeting is expected to shape the PDP’s strategy and alignment going into the 2027 elections, as discussions on potential coalition-building with other opposition forces gather momentum.
