PDP Tackles ADC Over Unprovoked Attack

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has berated the African Democratic Congress (ADC) over what it called an unprovoked public verbal attack.

Reacting to comments by Bolaji Abdullahi, the interim national publicity secretary of ADC, PDP’s national publicity secretary, Hon. Debo Ologunagba, said, “This unwarranted resort by Bolaji Abdullahi, an individual known for his roles as chief image maker and defender of the lying, deceitful, corrupt and failed

All Progressives Congress (APC), to use the platform of the ADC to attack the PDP instead of addressing serious national issues is not only reckless but also revealing,”

While appearing on Arise TV’s Prime Time on Monday night, Abdullahi derided PDP over its inefficiency as an opposition party, noting the spate of defections that has befallen the party because of its protracted crisis.

“It is rather unfortunate that the APC-indoctrinated Abdullahi is apparently unhappy that the PDP is building momentum against the APC ahead of the 2027 general elections hence this resort to attacking the PDP instead of confronting the APC.

“In any case the PDP, as the leading opposition Party, commanding the respect, loyalty and solidarity of overwhelming majority of Nigerians across the country and which is also the broad-based platform driving the aspiration of Nigerians to oust the APC in 2027 will not descend to join issues with the ADC or any other opposition Party in the country for that matter.

“Instead, the PDP, with its track record of performance which Nigerians still recall with nostalgia will continue to vigorously challenge the failed APC on issues while shaping constructive national discourse and galvanizing Nigerians towards voting out the APC and installing a people-oriented government on the platform of our Party, come 2027.

“Despite the defections of some of our members, it is clear that Nigerians, who are the real organic strength of the PDP are still standing shoulder to shoulder with our Party. The PDP therefore remains the Party that have the support base, connections, national spread and political muscle to unseat the APC.
“Moreover, it is instructive to state that the PDP, as presently constituted has more than enough presidential personalities with clear records of achievement and capacity to defeat President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at any time.

“However, as the platform of choice for all Nigerians, the PDP remains open to working with other well-meaning and like-minded citizens and groups in the collective aspiration to rescue our nation from the APC.

“Meanwhile, the PDP is focused on consolidating on the gains of our reconciliatory efforts and the success of our 101st National Executive Committee meeting.

“Our Party is working assiduously towards a successful National Convention slated for 15th to 16th November, 2025 in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital and will not allow itself to be distracted by baseless attacks from known agents of the APC,” PDP said
