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.”
The federal government reacted to claims stating that the new tax rules will be imposed on telecommunications and petroleum products for Nigerians.
The FG released a statement to explain the process and stated that there is no intention to place taxes on telecom and petroleum products and services.
“Those recommendations do not amount to government policy and are not binding on Nigeria. Decisions on tax matters are taken through established constitutional and legislative processes and are guided by national priorities and prevailing economic realities.”
Nigerian politician Peter Obi speaks on the increase in the cost of living in Nigeria and shared how more Nigerians are now hungry and the hunger crisis is increasing in the country.
He stated, “Despite three years of Tinubu’s food emergency, Nigeria’s hunger ranking index declined to among the worst nations globally.”
“Yet the outcome of this has been the opposite. Nigeria’s hunger index has worsened significantly. Nigeria’s hunger index ranking was 103rd out of 123 countries surveyed in 2022/2023, and this figure has since worsened to 115th out of 123 countries surveyed in 2025/2026.”
The U.S. government has released a warning to social media influencers who will be coming to watch the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The government placed a rule on creating content to make money while using a tourist visa and stated that it could lead to deportation back to their country.
It can be noted that the World Cup will be hosted in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
“People who enter the United States under a visitor program and receive income from a U.S. source would be violating the conditions of their admission status.”
