…Insists it will defeat Tinubu in 2027
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has said that the resort to the use of the platform of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), by Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, Interim National Publicity Secretary of the coalition Party, to attack it (PDP), instead of addressing serious national issues was not only reckless but also revealing.
The PDP which stated this on Tuesday, July 29, 2025, while reacting to what it described as “an unprovoked public verbal assault” on national television by Abdullahi, noted that the Spokesperson of the ADC was known for his role for his roles as chief image maker and defender of the lying, deceitful, corrupt and failed All Progressives Congress (APC).
A statement by Hon Debo Ologunagba, National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, said that it was 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.
He said that despite the defections of some of its members, it is clear that Nigerians, who are the real organic strength of the PDP are still standing shoulder to shoulder with the Party, stressing that the PDP therefore remains the Party that have the support base, connections, national spread and political muscle to unseat the APC.
Ologunagba said that 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.
He said; “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.
“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.
“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,” he said.
Ologunagba insisted that the PDP is focused on consolidating on the gains of its reconciliatory efforts and the success of its 101st National Executive Committee meeting.
According to Ologunagba; “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”.
