PDP Says 2027 Election Is Between Tinubu and the Suffering Nigerians
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has said that the 2027 elections will not be a typical political battle but a showdown between President Bola Tinubu and the everyday struggles of Nigerians.
Speaking on Thursday while presenting a Certificate of Return to Anambra governorship candidate Ezenwafor Jude, PDP Acting National Chairman, Ambassador Umar Damagum, emphasized that the elections won’t be about political titles or the number of governors any party controls.
He said, “This election is between Tinubu and the living conditions of Nigerians. It’s not about governors or senators. It’s APC versus the people. The pain being felt across the country is not accidental — it’s the result of bad policies. Nigerians have a chance to change that.”
Addressing the recent wave of defections in Delta State, where Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, former governor Ifeanyi Okowa, and several cabinet members left the PDP for the APC, Damagum expressed disappointment.
He said the PDP had been extremely supportive of Delta State over the years and didn’t expect such a political move from a state that had benefited greatly from the party.
According to him, “If there’s any state that shouldn’t have taken this step, it’s Delta. We’ve supported them all through, from Okowa’s emergence to his selection as vice-presidential candidate. We expected better, but the party has weathered worse and we’ll keep moving forward.”
A viral clip has made its way online showing a police officer in Delta State shooting a suspect who had already been restrained.
It can be noted that the suspect was pleading, claiming he had been framed and deceived, and said he would lead them to the right place.
However, while he was pleading, the police officer shot him. The officer later stated that the suspect was armed with a gun.
It was later revealed that the police officer has been arrested, as it is against the law to shoot a restrained suspect.
It was reported by the Kogi State Government that 24 children were abducted from an orphanage home. It was shared that this happened on the 26th of April, Sunday, and gunmen were seen in the area that day.
The information was shared by the Commissioner of Information, Kingsley Fanwo, who shared this sad news and described it as unfortunate.
“We condemn in strong terms the abduction of innocent children from an orphanage, the government is working closely with security operatives to ensure their safe return,”
Ghanaian media personality Afia Schwarzenegger speaks on the xenophobia issues occurring around Africans in South Africa.
She stated that Ghana is not the same as Nigeria and shared that if such issues happen to Ghanaians in South Africa, they will speak up and not keep quiet. She added that they will react.
“Ghana is not like Nigeria and we won’t hesitate to return the stupid favour.”
