APC Will Face A Disgraceful Defeat In 2027, CP-PDP Tells Okowa, Oborevwori
The Peoples Democratic Party (CP-PDP) has said that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, All Progressives Congress (APC), and all its apologists will face a disgraceful wholesale defeat in the 2027 Presidential election.
This was the response by the CP-PDP to the shocking comment credited to the former Governor of Delta state, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa, that it is best to have President Tinubu complete an eight-year tenure despite the agonizing and harrowing hardship being faced by Nigerians under his insensitive rule.
CP-PDP, in a statement by its Protem National Coordinator, Barr. Obinna Nwachukwu said, “Such unpatriotic statement, which is mostly associated with compromised leaders and deserters, is out of sync with the feelings and yearnings of millions of Nigerians, who cannot wait to vote out President Tinubu in 2027 and end the hardship, killings, and uncertainty in the country.
“This statement from a personality of Senator Okowa’s standing and status comes to the Conference as an ideological somersault and a painful disregard to the trust, admiration, and support accorded to him by millions of Nigerian citizens as the Vice-Presidential candidate of the PDP in the 2023 general elections.”
The PDP group added that his comment has crushed the spirits of most Nigerians, especially the youths, coming as a huge betrayal of the confidence of over nine million citizens who, in 2023, followed him in the fight against the perpetuation of APC misrule as represented in the Tinubu candidacy only for them to be presented with a volte-face at their most trying moment.
“Is it not heart-rending that a leader, who stood on different podiums across the country, campaigning and cautioning Nigerians about the dangers of voting in President Tinubu and the APC in 2023 is now canvassing that a failed administration which is inflicting hardship on the people be given a second term?
“By suggesting that President Tinubu be given a second term, is Senator Okowa now endorsing and seeking the elongation of the worsening insecurity, killings, banditry, kidnapping, economic retrogression, high cost of living, rising unemployment, extreme poverty, acute hunger and starvation, endemic corruption and the general sense of misery across the country under President Tinubu’s inept administration.
“As a patriotic organization, the CP-PDP holds that there is no hope for Nigeria under the Tinubu Presidency. Without any prejudices, the Conference believes that the six geo-political zones in the country have qualified leaders who are better equipped with the required capacity and patriotism to be elected as President in 2027,” CP-PDP said.
The PDP group cautioned that Senator Okowa must know that Nigerians are not ready to accept his suggestion, which amounts to surrendering themselves to a life of misery and unending suffering.
