From what played out at the “Oyo Npe Mi” gathering, it is becoming increasingly clear that a large number of those who introduced themselves are former PDP members who crossed over to the Accord Party. This development raises serious political questions and strategic calculations.
Looking at the current state of the PDP across Nigeria, it is obvious that the party is facing a major decline. Many of its key figures have already defected to other political platforms. This has led some observers to believe that what we are witnessing in Oyo State could be part of a long-term political strategy involving Governor Seyi Makinde and Oriyomi Hamzat.
One possible scenario is that if the PDP fails to gain real political strength ahead of 2027, Seyi Makinde could emerge as a godfather figure within the Accord Party. Another possibility is that along the line, PDP and Accord may align or merge, forming a stronger political force under a different structure.
That said, politics is a game of strategy and timing. Let the players keep rolling the ball. What Nigeria truly needs are new political parties powered by serious-minded youths, people ready to climb the political ladder with integrity, passion, and genuine love for the people. May God bless all those who are brave enough to try new paths in the hope of changing the current situation sincerely.
