Addressing journalists in Abuja on Monday, the PDP National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, stated that the party remains the only political force with the structure and capacity to defeat the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 general elections.
“The PDP is the only party that can unseat the APC. We have the support, the base, and a national spread,” Ologunagba said confidently. “There is no community in Nigeria without PDP members because it is truly the people’s party. Nigerians are eager for the PDP’s return.”
He strongly criticised the Tinubu-led administration, pointing to what he termed as widespread failures in governance, economic management, and security. According to him, the growing discontent across the country is a direct result of APC’s poor leadership.
“With the APC’s numerous failures, I can confidently say that no patriotic Nigerian, group, or political party will support Tinubu in 2027. It is clear that President Bola Tinubu is a bad market. So, no one, whetherindividual or group, who is experiencing what we’re all going through will vote for Tinubu,” he said.
Ologunagba further dismissed concerns about internal divisions within the PDP, including the recent defection of a few members to the APC and affiliations with the newly-formed coalition under the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
He stressed that the core of the party remains intact and resilient, saying, “Our party is organic and formidable. The people who make up the PDP are not defecting. They are not leaving because they understand what the party represents.”
He added, “They are not defecting because of hunger or insecurity. The people who form the bulk of our party, as well as Nigerians who are apolitical, look up to the PDP. So, they are not defecting.”
The PDP’s renewed confidence comes amid growing economic hardship, rising inflation, and a decline in public trust in government, issues the party believes will play a crucial role in shaping voter decisions in the next electoral cycle.
As the 2027 elections draw closer, the opposition party is positioning itself as the alternative Nigerians are waiting for—one it claims will restore confidence, stability, and purposeful leadership to the nation.
