PDP Is Politically D3@d – Ganduje Roasts Opposition with Bold Claim

 

The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje, has come out strongly to dismiss recent comments made by former Jigawa State Governor, Sule Lamido, who predicted that the APC would soon collapse and that former PDP members who had joined the ruling party would eventually return to the opposition.

Ganduje, in a statement released by his Chief Press Secretary, Edwin Olofu, did not mince words as he described Lamido’s remarks as “baseless and illogical.” He went further to make a bold declaration about the future of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), claiming that the opposition party is already politically dead and will be completely extinct by the end of the year 2025.

“In fact, we will soon receive Sule Lamido because very soon he won’t have where to go. The PDP is de@d.”

Ganduje said it is obvious to any politically conscious Nigerian that the PDP has lost its influence and is no longer a viable political force in the country. According to him, since President Bola Ahmed Tinubu took over leadership of the country in 2023, the APC has not only grown stronger but has also continued to attract major political figures from across Nigeria, including those who were once loyal members of the PDP.

“It is evident to any discerning observer that under the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the APC continues to gain momentum, with prominent political figures across the country defecting to the party in large numbers."

Ganduje emphasized that the APC is not only growing in numbers, but also in strength and popularity. He claimed that the ruling party is fully focused on building on its achievements and that it is already working towards securing a clear and decisive victory in the 2027 general elections.

“With such overwhelming national support, the APC remains focused on consolidating its achievements and preparing for a resounding victory in the 2027 general elections.”

This latest war of words between top figures from Nigeria’s two major political parties — the APC and the PDP — comes at a time when political activities are beginning to heat up ahead of the 2027 elections. While the PDP is still trying to reorganize itself after its loss in the 2023 general elections, the APC leadership seems confident and optimistic that the party will remain the dominant political force in Nigeria for years to come.

Ganduje’s strong response signals that the APC is not taking any attacks from the opposition lightly, and his statement is a direct challenge to critics who believe that the ruling party is unstable or losing ground.

Only time will tell whether Ganduje's bold prediction about the PDP becoming extinct by 2025 will come to pass. But for now, it's clear that the battle for Nigeria's political future is already underway, and the verbal fireworks are just beginning.
