Former lawmaker, Senator Shehu Sani, has reacted to the deepening crisis within the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, suggesting that the party’s remaining governors may soon need to constantly reassure each other of their loyalty.
Sani made the remark in a post on X on Wednesday.
According to him, if the PDP is eventually left with only two governors, Seyi Makinde and Bala Mohammed, they might have to call each other frequently to confirm they are still together in the party.
He wrote: “Now that the PDP has only two Governors remaining,the two will have to be calling each other every one hour to be sure…with words like…I hope we are still together or I hope you still de?”
“Now that the PDP has only two governors remaining, the two will have to be calling each other every one hour to be sure… with words like ‘I hope we are still together’ or ‘I hope you still dey,’” he wrote.
His comment comes amid escalating tensions within the party following a recent ruling by the Court of Appeal.
The appellate court upheld earlier judgments that restrained the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, from recognising the outcome of the party’s disputed national convention held in Ibadan, Oyo State, in November 2025.
The court ruled that the convention violated statutory requirements and the party’s constitution.
