Folowing the internal crisis Peter Mbah’s defection has stirred in the PDP, The National Publicity Secretary of the party, Debo Ologunagba, has debunked claims that the party is crippling, adding that the party is not in coma.
In reaction to Governor Peter Mbah’s defection to the All Progressives Congress, or APC, Ologunagba made the statement.
Mbah and his cabinet members formally defected from the PDP to the APC on Tuesday, in a televised broadcast.
Findings reveal that Peter Mbah’s defection is not the first of its kind. Recall that Governor Sheriff Oborevwori of Delta State and Governor Umo Eno of Akwa Ibom State defected to the APC earlier in 2025.
In response, the PDP spokesperson stated that even though the opposition party is facing difficulties, the governor’s departure won’t have a detrimental effect on the party.
Speaking on Arise Television’s ‘Prime Time’, on Tuesday night, Ologunagba said the strength of the PDP lies in the people, not the governors.
He said, “The PDP is not in coma, it’s not in a vegetative state, yes we have challenges, some of which are external, more damages are the ones within but again, we are working that rope surely towards convention.”
