PDP Governors Gear Up to Challenge APC, Coalition in 2027

The governors elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have declared their readiness to confront the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and the emerging coalition led by the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in the upcoming 2027 elections.

Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, who is also the Chairman of the PDP Governors' Forum, stated that the party would no longer tolerate acts of indiscipline and internal crises. He noted that recent internal conflicts had been addressed and resolved.

Mohammed affirmed the governors' commitment to reviving the party and delivering hope to Nigerians. He emphasized the importance of unity and discipline within the party, stating that personal ambitions should not divide them.

The governor expressed sympathy for those who had left the party out of impatience, leaving the door open for their return, albeit for a limited time. He emphasized the PDP's resilience and commitment to providing a credible platform for Nigerians to actualize their aspirations.

Mohammed's statement comes amidst high-profile defections to the ADC-led coalition, including former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and former Senate President David Mark. Conversely, some PDP leaders have defected to the APC, including Akwa Ibom State Governor Umo Eno and Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori.
