The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Senators Caucus has firmly denied rumors that the party is collapsing, insisting instead that the opposition party remains strong despite recent defections that have affected its ranks.

Senator Abba Moro, who serves as both the PDP Senators Caucus leader and the Minority Leader in the Senate, made these assertions during a press conference held on Tuesday after plenary session.

"Contrary to rumour milling around that the Peoples Democratic Party has collapsed, the party has not collapsed," Moro stated emphatically. "Even in the Senate, there are former Governors who are in the Senate on the PDP platform. These ones have not defected and they are here with us, so the party has not collapsed."

According to the Minority Leader, the challenges currently facing the party are normal in a democratic setting, and there is nothing to suggest that the PDP will not overcome them. He revealed that a series of activities have been consciously organized to revitalize the party in preparation for the 2027 general elections.

"PDP still remains strong and there are catalogues of activities lined up to revive the party," he added.

Moro disclosed that the party has established a Reconciliation Committee chaired by former Kwara State Governor and ex-Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki. He expressed confidence that this committee would successfully reconcile aggrieved members and bring them back into the party fold.

When questioned about reports that former PDP Presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar had extended an invitation to Labour Party's Peter Obi for a vice-presidential slot in 2027, Moro did not deny the possibility, suggesting instead that such coalition-building was being contemplated ahead of the next general elections.

"It is not a bad development as the coalition is being contemplated ahead of 2027," Moro responded, indicating the party's openness to strategic alliances.

The PDP has faced significant challenges in recent weeks with several high-profile defections that have raised questions about its future viability as Nigeria's main opposition party. However, the Senators Caucus maintains that these setbacks are temporary and that the party's recovery strategy is already in motion.
