PDP Says Tinubu Wants to Kill Other Parties and Make Nigeria a One-Party Country
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has urged Nigerians to resist any move towards a one-party system, accusing the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) of trying to silence opposition and undermine democracy. In a statement issued ahead of its upcoming National Convention set for August 2025 in Kano, the PDP said the event would be a turning point to elect new national leaders, strengthen the party’s internal structure, and prepare to challenge the APC in the 2027 general elections.
The party stressed that this convention would focus on electing capable leaders through a process rooted in merit, transparency, and fairness. It said this was necessary to confront what it described as the APC’s mismanagement of the country. The PDP accused the APC of using threats, intimidation, and interference in opposition parties to weaken Nigeria’s democratic system. It also blamed the ruling party for worsening economic conditions, growing poverty, and rising insecurity, calling the situation “unprecedented hardship” under President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
The opposition party urged Nigerians not to allow democracy to be replaced with authoritarian control. It encouraged citizens to unite behind the PDP and support efforts to bring back true democratic governance in the country. According to the statement, the Kano convention will help reawaken the PDP and prepare it to lead a renewed fight for a better Nigeria where all citizens can live in peace and prosperity.
The party concluded by calling on its members, stakeholders, and every patriotic Nigerian to stand firm, support the party’s mission, and help build a stronger front against what it described as the APC’s anti-people policies. “Together, we can stop the APC’s plans and return Nigeria to a path of progress, safety, and economic stability,” the PDP said.
The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has stated that the outcome of the 2027 general elections will be based on the performance of candidates, not defections.
The party stressed that defections alone do not win elections, noting that credibility, leadership, and results matter more. This was said in response to comments credited to former governor Rauf Aregbesola.
The APC also dismissed claims that the opposition’s performance in Lagos weakened the party, pointing out that voters later reaffirmed their support by re-electing the APC in the governorship election and subsequent polls.
Governor of Bauchi State, Bala Mohammed, has spoken on the allegation that terrorism and the increase in insecurity are linked to his administration in the state.
The governor then said “This is a country where when you work, you become a villain. I have kept quiet for too long for peace and security. But I am not a coward. I will not join them. I refuse to join their party,” he stated.
“We have built our health system, primary education, and reduced out-of-school children. We have been awarded three times by the federal government for development and good governance. And they are accusing us? What kind of paradox is this?”
Media personality Dele Momodu reacts and shares his thoughts regarding First Lady Remi Tinubu interrupting the Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, during a recent event.
The event was the 10th coronation anniversary of the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi. In the scene, while Governor Adeleke was giving a speech, he began with a worship song. But while singing, the First Lady stood up and met him to inform him to stop singing and go directly to his speech instead.
Media personality Dele then reacted and questioned why she would do something like that, asking if she would have done the same kind of interruption if it were the recitation of the Qur’an.
