The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has launched a scathing attack on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, branding him a “bad market” and pledging to unseat him in the 2027 general elections.
Speaking at a press conference in Abuja on Monday, July 21, PDP National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, firmly declared that no “patriotic Nigerian” would endorse a second term for Tinubu, citing rising economic hardship, insecurity, and a depreciating naira under the All Progressives Congress (APC) government.
“With the APC’s numerous failures, no patriotic Nigerian, group, or political party will support Tinubu in 2027,” Ologunagba stated.
“It is clear President Bola Tinubu is a bad market and destined to be a one-term president.”
PDP: Only credible alternative to the APC
Ologunagba positioned the PDP as the only truly national party capable of restoring stability and growth.
“The PDP is the only party with the structure, national spread, and grassroots support to unseat the APC,” he said.
“There’s no community in Nigeria without PDP members, because it is truly the people’s party. Nigerians are eager for the PDP’s return.”
He argued that under Tinubu’s leadership, living conditions have worsened, citing soaring inflation and the economic impact of subsidy removal.
PDP dismisses defections and new coalitions
Addressing recent defections from the PDP to the APC and the rising profile of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Ologunagba downplayed their importance.
“Our party is organic and formidable,” he explained.
“Those who make up the PDP are not defecting because of hardship or insecurity. Nigerians who remain apolitical also see the PDP as their only hope.”
Mounting public discontent fuels PDP’s optimism
The PDP’s renewed criticism comes amid widespread public frustration over economic challenges that have overshadowed Tinubu’s presidency since 2023. Many Nigerians continue to feel the impact of subsidy removal and naira depreciation on daily living costs.
With the 2027 elections approaching, the PDP’s strategy appears centered on capitalizing on voter dissatisfaction and presenting itself as the most credible alternative to the APC.
