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.
Kenneth Okonkwo has fired back at Peter Obi, challenging him to explain how he was betrayed after he left the Labour Party. Speaking on Channels TV’s Sunday Politics, the former Labour Party Presidential Campaign Spokesman made it clear that while he worked for Obi, his loyalty was total.
“I never spoke to any politician or political party while I worked for him. I was 100% committed,” Okonkwo said. He explained that when he decided to step away, he made it public and stated clearly that he would no longer speak for Obi.
“People throwing words around don’t even understand what betrayal means,” he added, noting that whatever anyone says about him reflects who they are, not who he is. Okonkwo left the Labour Party in July 2024, following his frustrations with the party’s internal crisis and Obi’s silence on the issues.
He also dismissed claims that he collected money or property from Obi during the campaign. Reacting to Obi’s recent remarks, Okonkwo pointed out that comparing the situation to Jesus and his disciples makes it seem like Obi sees himself as Jesus. “How do you betray someone you’re no longer working for?” he asked.
Nigerian singer Seun Kuti causes a stir among the public after his comparison of activist Omoyele Sowore to Peter Obi.
Speaking in a live video, the singer shared his thoughts and stated that Omoyele Sowore is better at politics than Peter Obi. He explained how Sowore has done many works and brought justice like no Nigerian politician ever will.
He then compares the activist to Peter Obi, stating that Sowore is indeed better. Fans reacted to his statement, and many shared their insights on this matter.
Veteran Nollywood actor Kenneth Okonkwo has opened up about what he calls a betrayal by Peter Obi, the former presidential candidate of the Labour Party. In a recent interview with Symfoni, Okonkwo revealed that his decision to quit the party earlier in February 2025 was influenced by Obi’s actions during a leadership crisis within the party.
Okonkwo, who once served as a spokesperson for Obi’s presidential campaign, said the former Anambra State governor ignored his counsel and returned to support the Julius Abure-led faction—despite ongoing controversies surrounding that group. He explained that Obi was misinformed by party executives who claimed that the Abure-led camp had been recognised by INEC. But in his view, Obi’s move went against everything he had previously stood for.
“Any serious politician knows how not to be misled,” Okonkwo said. “But in this case, it was Obi who betrayed me. I warned him—these people are not democratic. INEC recognition isn’t enough reason to return to a group that goes against the values you publicly uphold. If you align with them again, you risk your political credibility and everything you’ve worked for.”
