Former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Senator Aminu Tambuwal, has said that the 2027 general election may be difficult for the People?s Democratic Party PDP) if it fails to resolve its internal crises.

This was just as the party?s National Vice Chairman (South), Chief Dan Osi Orbih, admitted that there?s much work to do to reposition the PDP ahead of 2027.

The former Sokoto State governor told Sunday Sun, in Abuja, that stakeholders must settle lingering issues if the party is to make any gain in 2027.

Tambuwal said: ?I have concerns for my party because we still have issues, outstanding issues; issues that have remained unresolved among personalities, among individual leaders and members of the party.

?So, coming to prosecute the elections of 2027 may be difficult for the PDP without taking steps to now bring everybody back on the same page, working together for the victory of the party??

On his part, the PDP National Vice Chairman (South-south), Chief Orbih, said that the party must do away with its culture of impunity and adhere to its constitution.

Orbih, a former chairman of the party in Edo State, stated that every registered political party that steps out to contest election can stand a chance to win if they put their house in order.

He said: ?No doubt PDP is facing a lot of challenges at the moment. But there is nothing that is impossible. It is the enormity of the problems confronting the party that is making people to quickly jump to that conclusion.

?I believe that, yes, we have problems; I also believe if we do things right, we can stand a good chance like any other political party. But at the moment, there is a whole lot to be done. We must move away from the PDP now accustomed culture of impunity and start to do things the way they should be done.

?We must uphold the constitution of the party at all times. There must be conscious efforts to bring together, everybody.

?As it is today, the party is sharply divided. A lot of people are not happy and above all, the party must start to cultivate the reward culture of showing appreciation to those who have worked hard for the party; those who have supported the party; those who have been with the party in good and bad times. Such people must be rewarded. You don?t encourage others by constantly attacking them and wanting to bring them down. Our reward culture must be revisited. So, there is so much that the party must do to start showing itself as a viable alternative.

?Every person must subject himself to the constitution of the party ? the governors, the BoT, the National Working Committee, Zonal Working Committee; every person must subject himself to the constitution of the party.?

Orbih added that this is ?the time to rebuild and not to destroy; this is the time to unite, not to divide.? (Sunday Sun)
