2027: Lagos PDP holds reconciliation meeting, plans to snatch Lagos from APC

Ahead of the 2027 general elections, the Lagos State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party has initiated plans to reconcile all warring members of the party in a bid to wrest power from the ruling All Progressives Congress in the state.

This was according to a chieftain of the party, Chief Olabode George, during Tuesday night’s edition of Newsday on Arise TV.

Since the poor performance of the party at the 2023 general elections, growing discordant tunes among stakeholders in the party have lingered on.

Even after a committee was set up by the leadership of the party to reconcile warring and aggrieved members, the party crisis lingered.

Recall that in February 2024, a chieftain of the PDP in Lagos State, Dr Adetokunbo Pearse, attributed the poor outings of the party in recent elections in the state to a lack of unity in the Lagos chapter.

He said the political party had also not been functioning well in the state because its structure had been weakened and had no leader serving as a rallying point in the chapter.

However, after several indoor meetings, some stakeholders of the party last Wednesday held a reconciliatory meeting to put the state chapter of the party in order ahead of the 2027 general election.
