Reacting to Fayose’s statement, Dr Orduen did not hold back, accusing the former governor of contributing to the party’s struggles.

Orduen said:

“It is disheartening that someone like Fayose, who has been part of the problem, dares to declare that healing the PDP is 'almost impossible. "The rot within the party is being created by people like him. His time, along with other anti-party elements, is up. Soon, they will be shown the way out. "The PDP will be rescued from their grip, and a thorough cleansing will rid the party of those working against its progress.”

Orduen also aimed at the acting National Chairman, Umar Damagun, accusing him of being influenced by former Rivers Governor Nyesom Wike, whom he claims is working to weaken the PDP.

He called for Fayose and others allegedly working against the PDP to leave the party and join the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

Orduen blames APC for widespread hardship

Orduen didn’t stop at internal party issues but also launched a scathing attack on the APC government, accusing it of causing widespread suffering in Nigeria.

He said:

“As for APC, it has brought nothing but hardship, hunger, and suffering to Nigerians. This is the party that has wrecked the economy and left the people struggling. Nigerians have seen through the lies and deceit of APC."

He declared that no matter what, the PDP would be ready to challenge APC in 2027 and remove President Bola Tinubu from office.
