If the predictions of Senator Lekan Balogun, a People's Democratic Party stalwart and Osi Olubadan of Ibadan,are to go by, there is the possibility of the PDP breaking up in 2019 ahead of the general elections.
The senator made this revelation on Thursday, 3rd of August during the monthly Guest Forum of Oodua Newspapers held at Ijikodo, Ibadan.
He said, “I foresee a new party emerging out of the fall of PDP from power after the 2015 elections and not that the All Progressives Congress has taken over.
“Some members of the party have gotten to a point of no return and I think they could break away,”
Balogun said that the PDP which came to power in 1999 and ruled the country for 16 years failed in its re-election bid because its leadership refused to listen to the advice of elders.
The former lawmaker, who took a cursory look at the collapse of the PDP in Oyo State, warned APC not to make the same mistake
