Plateau State’s Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is currently experiencing a significant wave of defections, with several members leaving the party in recent days. Political observers say the departures reflect growing dissatisfaction within the party ranks.

Sources indicate that both grassroots members and some local leaders have switched allegiances to other political platforms, seeking new opportunities ahead of upcoming elections. The movement of party members is seen as a challenge to the PDP’s unity in Plateau.

The PDP leadership in the state has yet to issue a detailed response, but insiders suggest that efforts are underway to engage with remaining members and prevent further exits. Party officials are reportedly concerned about the potential impact on their electoral strength.

Analysts note that such defections are not unusual in Nigeria’s political landscape, particularly in the lead-up to major elections. The trend in Plateau reflects broader challenges of party cohesion, loyalty, and internal dispute resolution.
