Ahead of the general elections in 2027, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) chapter in Nasarawa State has distanced itself from recent alliance negotiations and strongly cautioned its members against joining any opposition coalition.
The PDP reaffirmed its commitment to internal unity and reconstruction in an official statement issued by Mallam Hamza Ibrahim, the party’s State Publicity Secretary. The statement also stated that the PDP is “stronger and more formidable than ever” in its efforts to unseat the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The statement said, “The PDP’s state chapter strongly disassociated herself from the ADA/ADC/COALITION.”
We kindly request that our esteemed stakeholders, who represent the interests of the party and state as a whole, as well as our loyal members and all citizens in general, refrain from attending any gatherings held in the name of the coalition.
Asserting that internal reorganization efforts are ongoing to settle disputes and rebuild trust among its grassroots followers, the party reaffirmed that its structure remains a credible platform for everyone.
Ibrahim went on to say, “The UMBRELLA is large enough to serve all interests, to offer a credible platform for reformation, and to provide alternative leadership for our beloved state and the nation at large.”
Notwithstanding the party’s stance, internal divisions seem to be showing. Deeper discord inside the PDP ranks is indicated by the hundreds of members, including prominent stakeholders, who have resigned and joined the coalition platform under the African Democratic Congress (ADC), according to sources.
However, the PDP has declared that it will have a larger State Executive Committee meeting in the near future.
According to the announcement, the conference will evaluate the party’s success, discuss lingering issues, and complete a strategic plan for its upcoming election-related actions.
