NEC Member Reveals What Will Happen To Anybody Who Wants To Contest 2027 Election In PDP
A report has indicated that some political stakeholders in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have harmonised their position ahead of the formal unveiling of the ADC as the coalition party.
A source who spoke to Daily Sun stated that top members of the PDP, including former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, former Senate President David Mark, and former Sokoto State governor Aminu Tambuwal, met on Tuesday in Abuja to perfect arrangements for a coalition of opposition politicians for the 2027 general elections.
According to the source, the meeting chaired by Mark is about plans by some opposition politicians to move to the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as a platform for the 2027 general elections.
Others in attendance included Liyel Imoke, Babangida Aliyu, Gabriel Suswam and Sam Egwu, former governors of Cross River, Niger, Benue and Ebonyi states.
Also present at the meeting were former governor of Jigawa State, Sule Lamido, former Minister of Police Affairs, Waziri Maina, Senator Abdul Ningi, Senator Tunde Ogbeha and former Minister of External Affairs, Chief Tom Ikimi.
A member of the party’s NEC who attended the meeting told the publication that the PDP had become unviable for the 2027 contest.
The NEC member explained that PDP leaders met to harmonise their position ahead of the formal unveiling of the ADC as the coalition party.
He said the PDP governors and leaders opposing the coalition of opposition politicians for the 2027 elections were speaking for themselves.
According to him, “You are aware that some of our leaders are publicly canvassing support for the APC. What has the leadership done about it? So, those of us here will not leave the PDP, we will work for the coalition. Anybody who still wants to contest the 2027 elections in the PDP is free to go and waste his money.”
