PDP Governors Say They Won’t Bow to Pressure from Federal Government
Governors elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have declared that they won’t be shaken by any form of intimidation from the Federal Government. Speaking at the party’s 99th National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting in Abuja, the governors accused the current administration of using pressure tactics and exclusion to weaken the party. But they made it clear—they’re not backing down.
Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, who also chairs the PDP Governors Forum, said the Tinubu-led government has created a political environment filled with provocations and hurdles. He admitted that the party has faced defections and ongoing talks about alliances, but insisted that PDP is still strong and united.
“No kind of pressure or manipulation has been left out,” he said. “But we’re still here, standing firm in our commitment to good governance.” He pointed out that unlike other parties that are battling internal divisions, the PDP has managed to stay united. “We are not like the others with constant in-fighting. We remain one family,” he said.
Governor Mohammed also highlighted how the party has been staying active by holding meetings across several states and releasing communiqués that tackle key national issues. He mentioned recent gatherings in Plateau, Taraba, Oyo, Delta, Akwa Ibom, and Bauchi as proof that the party is not fading away. He praised party leaders for their resilience and described the NEC meeting as a clear victory for democracy and responsible leadership in the face of growing national challenges.
Spiritual leader Primate Elijah Ayodele warns the APC against being too confident ahead of the 2027 election.
He shared “Overconfidence will kill APC; they will be too overconfident, and that will be the party’s weakness in the election. They will turn Tinubu to a demi-god, but it will make them lose the election. They believe money can do everything, but it will fail in the 2027 election,” Ayodele said.
Ayodele has repeatedly warned the APC not to assume that its current political strength will automatically translate into victory in 2027.
Politician Atiku Abubakar claims that President Bola Tinubu is 90 and says he can prove it.
He shared in a recent interview that he has evidence and can prove it, while also stating that he can serve Nigeria better and sharing how he has the qualities to be Nigeria’s leader.
“You have a President who is 90 years old now and sick and I am healthy and strong. So why won’t I make myself available to serve my country?”
“You went and voted for someone who is 80, I mean 90 years old. How old is President Bola, 90?”
Nigerian businessman Isaac Fayose speaks on the upcoming election and shares that it has basically started now with who the people support.
While backing Peter Obi, he shared “2027 election campaign has officially kicked off. I’m happy because it’s time to take our country back. Recall that President Tinubu once told us that if he doesn’t provide electricity, we should not vote for him. APC is a failed government. Let’s start a door-to-door campaign for Mr Peter Obi. The (OK) ticket is all we want.”
He urged Nigerians to start showing their support and vote.
