Senate Minority Leader and prominent chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Abba Moro, has admitted that the party made a strategic mistake by presenting former Vice President Atiku Abubakar as its presidential candidate in the 2023 general election.
Speaking on the development, Senator Moro described the decision as a “costly error” that weakened the PDP’s chances against the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). He noted that the choice of candidate failed to fully capture the political mood of the country at the time, ultimately contributing to the opposition’s loss at the polls.
The Minority Leader’s comments come amid ongoing internal reviews within the PDP as the party seeks to rebuild its strength ahead of the 2027 elections.
Stone Reporters News gathered that Moro’s admission reflects growing concerns within the PDP about past missteps, with many party stakeholders now calling for a fresh approach to candidate selection and party unity in future contests.
