PDP Backs President Tinubu's Re-Election, Prioritizes National Interest Over Partisanship

PRESS STATEMENT

Purported PDP Statement Endorsing President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for the 2027 General Election

The People's Democratic Party (PDP) announces its endorsement of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), for the 2027 General Election, citing what it describes as the overriding national interest.

According to the statement, the decision reflects the belief that the welfare and progress of Nigeria should take precedence over partisan considerations. It commends President Tinubu for the confidence reposed in the Honourable Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Chief (Barr.) Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, whose leadership is credited with driving significant infrastructural development and urban transformation across the nation's capital.

The statement further references the recent FCT Area Council elections, where PDP candidates reportedly stepped down in support of APC candidates, describing the move as an example of political cooperation in the interest of national unity and development. It argues that a similar spirit should guide political stakeholders ahead of the 2027 General Election.

It also expresses support for President Tinubu's economic reform agenda, acknowledging that while the reforms have required sacrifice, they are intended to lay the foundation for a stronger and more prosperous Nigeria. On this basis, the statement advocates support for the President's bid for a second term to consolidate ongoing reforms and developmental initiatives.

The statement calls on PDP members, supporters, and stakeholders nationwide to work collaboratively with the APC-led administration and to support President Tinubu's re-election in 2027. It also conveys appreciation to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Chief (Barr.) Nyesom Ezenwo Wike for what it describes as their commitment to national development and the transformation of the Federal Capital Territory.

It concludes with the declaration:

"On your mandate we shall stand, Bola. On your mandate we shall stand."

The statement ends with prayers for God's continued blessings upon the Federal Republic of Nigeria, the People's Democratic Party, and Chief (Barr.) Nyesom Ezenwo Wike.If you intend this to represent an official PDP statement, it should only be published if it has in fact been issued or authorized by the party.
