The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has called on President Bola Tinubu to prepare for a potential transition of power, citing growing dissatisfaction among Nigerians with his administration. According to the PDP, citizens are increasingly unlikely to support Tinubu’s re-election bid in 2027.
Speaking at the PDP state secretariat in Yola, Adamawa State, the party’s Organising Secretary, Hamza Madagali, expressed concerns about the current state of governance in Nigeria. Madagali alleged that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) lacks direction and has failed to deliver on its promises to the country. He attributed this perceived failure to the APC’s inability to effectively address the nation’s challenges.
The PDP’s recent ward congresses in Adamawa State, however, have demonstrated the party’s unity and readiness to reclaim power, according to Madagali. He pointed to the composition of the National Convention committees as evidence that the APC’s tenure in the presidency may be nearing its end. Madagali believes that Nigerians have learned from past experiences and are now more discerning in their political choices.
The PDP official noted that Nigerians are becoming increasingly aware of the differences between genuine and fake leadership. He argued that the only viable option for the country’s future is to return the PDP to power. This statement suggests that the PDP is positioning itself as a viable alternative to the current administration, capitalizing on growing discontent among the electorate.
The PDP’s comments come amidst a broader national conversation about the performance of the Tinubu administration and the prospects for the 2027 elections. As the political landscape continues to evolve, the PDP’s call for President Tinubu to prepare for a transition of power may be seen as an attempt to exert pressure on the ruling party and capitalize on growing dissatisfaction among voters. The outcome of this development remains to be seen, as Nigeria’s political parties and citizens look ahead to the upcoming elections.
