…Vows to Defeat Tinubu in 2027
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has condemned the recent comment made by the interim National Publicity Secretary of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Mr. Bolaji Abdullahi, over what it described as an “ unprovoked verbal assault” aired on national television.
This was contained in a statement by the Spokesperson, PDP, Hon. Debo Ologunagba, on Tuesday.
Ologunagba accused Abdullahi of using a national television platform to attack the PDP instead of addressing pressing national issues.
“The attention of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) @OfficialPDPNig has been drawn to an unprovoked public verbal assault on national television by Bolaji Abdullahi, the Interim National Publicity Secretary of the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
“This unwarranted resort by Bolaji Abdullahi, an individual known for his roles as chief image maker and defender of the lying, deceitful, corrupt and failed All Progressives Congress (APC), to use the platform of the ADC to attack the PDP instead of addressing serious national issues is not only reckless but also revealing. “
He further alleged that Abdullahi’s criticisms emanated from PDP’s growing momentum as the 2027 general elections draw nearer.
He stated that the party will not be dragged into conflict with other opposition parties, noting that its focus remains on challenge the ruling party’s governance record and providing Nigerians with a credible alternative.
“It is rather unfortunate that the APC-indoctrinated Abdullahi is apparently unhappy that the PDP is building momentum against the APC ahead of the 2027 general elections hence this resort to attacking the PDP instead of confronting the APC.
“In any case the PDP, as the leading opposition Party, commanding the respect, loyalty and solidarity of overwhelming majority of Nigerians across the country and which is also the broad-based platform driving the aspiration of Nigerians to oust the APC in 2027 will not descend to join issues with the ADC or any other opposition Party in the country for that matter.
“Instead, the PDP, with its track record of performance which Nigerians still recall with nostalgia will continue to vigorously challenge the failed APC on issues while shaping constructive national discourse and galvanizing Nigerians towards voting out the APC and installing a people-oriented government on the platform of our Party, come 2027.”
Despite internal defections in recent months, the PDP reaffirmed its national reach and grassroots strength, asserting that its core support base remains intact.
Ologunagba further emphasized that it has a pool of capable presidential contenders who can defeat President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in 2027.
“Despite the defections of some of our members, it is clear that Nigerians, who are the real organic strength of the PDP are still standing shoulder to shoulder with our Party.
“The PDP therefore remains the Party that have the support base, connections, national spread and political muscle to unseat the APC. Moreover, it is instructive to state that the PDP, as presently constituted has more than enough presidential personalities with clear records of achievement and capacity to defeat President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at any time.”
He also disclosed plans for its upcoming National Convention scheduled for November 15-16, 2025, in Ibadan, Oyo State.
“However, as the platform of choice for all Nigerians, the PDP remains open to working with other well-meaning and like-minded citizens and groups in the collective aspiration to rescue our nation from the APC.
“Meanwhile, the PDP is focused on consolidating on the gains of our reconciliatory efforts and the success of our 101st National Executive Committee meeting. Our Party is working assiduously towards a successful National Convention slated for 15th to 16th November, 2025 in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital and will not allow itself to be distracted by baseless attacks from known agents of the APC.” The statement concluded.
