Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has denied reports that it has directed its members to join a coalition group ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
Gatekeepers News reports that the PDP, according to the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, has not taken any official position on the issue of the coalition.
“The PDP is for now focused on building and consolidating on attained unity, stability and strengthening of its structures and capacity to play its roles as the leading opposition Party determined to return to power in 2027,” Ologunagba said.
The party is currently preparing for its National Convention, which aims to revamp and reposition the PDP for the task ahead. Ologunagba added that the PDP remains open to working with other well-meaning citizens in the collective effort to challenge the ruling All Progressives Congress-led administration.
“Our Party is currently working conscientiously towards a successful National Convention… Nevertheless, as a major opposition Party with a very strong presence and bond with Nigerians across the country, the PDP restates that it remains open to working with other well-meaning, like-minded citizens,” he said.
