Ulasi: PDP Needs Obi’s Credibility to Bounce
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

When Chief Dan Ulasi said on Arise TV that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) needs Peter Obi to bounce back, he wasn’t just making a random political statement, he was pointing out the bitter truth the party has been running away from.

The PDP may boast of governors, old structures, and recycled “big men,” but none of these have the kind of credibility Obi commands today. Ulasi argued that if Obi decides to return to PDP, the party would automatically secure 30 to 40 percent of the vote because of the Obidient Movement’s reach across the country. And honestly, he’s not wrong.

PDP’s Desperation and Obi’s Value

It’s no secret that PDP is struggling. After losing power in 2015, the party has tried every trick in the book to reclaim relevance. But Nigerians are tired of the same old faces. What Obi brings to the table is not just numbers, but the one thing PDP has lost completely — trust.

Obi’s campaign in 2023 shook the political table. Young people, who usually sit out elections, trooped out because of him. He gave Nigerians something the PDP and APC have failed to give for years: hope. That’s why Ulasi is right, if PDP wants to bounce, they need Obi’s credibility. Without him, they are just another tired party preparing for another loss.

Ulasi: PDP Needs Obi’s Credibility to Bounce

The Big Question: Where Does Obi Stand?

Obi himself looks politically homeless. He ran on Labour Party’s platform in 2023, but everyone knows the party is more like a temporary shelter than a political fortress. He has been seen at ADC events, and now PDP is openly begging him to return.

Ulasi even admitted that to the best of his knowledge, Obi has no clear platform right now. That’s both a problem and an opportunity. A problem because Nigerians are impatient, they want to know where he’s heading before 2027. An opportunity because whichever party secures Obi instantly gets a serious boost.

The Zoning Card and the South-East Argument

Ulasi also reminded Nigerians of another inconvenient truth: the South-East is the only zone that has never produced a president. According to him, if PDP truly wants fairness, then the 2027 ticket should not only be zoned to the South but “micro-zoned” to the South-East. And if that’s the case, who better than Obi to carry the flag?

PDP has a history of saying one thing and doing another. The zoning conversation has been tossed around for years, only to be ignored when it matters. So while Ulasi’s argument makes sense, the party’s track record says otherwise.

PDP’s Rebuilding or Just Buying Time?

Ulasi claimed the PDP is in “rebuilding mode,” citing a national executive meeting attended by seven governors who discussed reorganising ahead of 2027. That sounds nice on TV, but Nigerians have heard the same lines before. What PDP calls rebuilding often ends up being the same game of old politicians reshuffling positions.

If Obi joins, it may not fix all of PDP’s problems, but it will definitely inject life into a dying party. Without him, PDP might still exist on paper, but politically, it will remain on life support.

Final Thought

PDP needs Obi more than Obi needs PDP. Ulasi said it plainly, and he’s right. Obi has the numbers, the energy, and most importantly, the credibility. PDP has the structures but not the trust. If the two come together, it could change the 2027 game. If not, PDP might as well prepare for another round of tears.
