Press Statement

PDP Has Not Taken Any Official Position on Coalition
…Party Now Focused on Unity, National Convention

The attention of the National Working Committee (NWC) of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has been drawn to a misrepresenting report in a section of the social media claiming that the PDP had directed its members to join the Coalition Group.

For the avoidance of doubt, the NWC states in clear terms that the PDP has not taken any official position on the issue of Coalition.

The PDP is for now focused on building and consolidating on attained unity, stability and strengthening of its structures and capacity to play its roles as the leading opposition Party determined to return to power in 2027.

Our Party is currently working conscientiously towards a successful National Convention which will further revamp and reposition the PDP for the task ahead.

Nevertheless, as a major opposition Party with very strong presence and bond with Nigerians across the country, the PDP restates that it remains open to working with other well-meaning like-minded citizens in the collective effort to rescue our nation from the stranglehold of the rudderless and insensitive All Progressives Congress (APC)-led administration.

Our Party appreciates Nigerians for their interest, solidarity and loyalty to the PDP brand and reassures that all machineries are being put in place to re-activate the PDP winning ways ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Hon. Debo Ologunagba

PRESS RELEASE

Oyo PDP Not Part of Any Coalition – Party Secretary Reaffirms Unity, Loyalty to Governor Makinde

Ibadan, Oyo State — July 2, 2025

The Oyo State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) wishes to clarify recent political developments concerning coalition movements within the state and beyond.

Following emerging news and political alignments, it has come to our notice that certain coalition forces have chosen to operate on the African Democratic Congress (ADC) platform. We wish to make it unequivocally clear that the PDP is not a part of this coalition and has no affiliation with their activities or objectives.

The PDP in Oyo State remains a united, focused, and formidable party, fully committed to the leadership and vision of His Excellency, Governor Seyi Makinde. Our structures are intact, our direction is clear, and our loyalty is unwavering.

We urge all party Chairmen, Council Chairmen, Political Officer holders, Leaders, Elders, Supporters and all our stakeholders across the state to remain vigilant and proactive.
Kindly attend to the concerns of party members under your jurisdiction, manage any internal issues diligently, and work tirelessly to close any ranks that appear open. Now more than ever, we must ensure that no member is pushed away by our actions or inactions.

This is a crucial moment for the PDP family in Nigeria. Let us all remain united and committed to the growth and success of our great party.

Thank you.

Signed:
Alhaji Wasiu Adeleke
Secretary, Oyo State PDP

We are PDP, we are not involved in coalition, stop using Saraki’s name to woo our members – Kwara PDP

Tue, 1 Jul 2025

The Kwara State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has accused members of the newly formed political coalition of using the name of former Senate President Bukola Saraki to attract supporters in the state.

In a statement issued in Ilorin, the party alleged that some individuals and political actors were attempting to lure its members and supporters into the coalition movement.

It stated that the Kwara PDP, under the leadership of Saraki, has no affiliation whatsoever with the coalition being spearheaded by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar or any group outside the structure of the party.

“We urge our members and supporters across the state to remain vigilant and not be deceived by the antics of stranded and unpopular politicians who, having deserted our party, are now seeking relevance by falsely using the name of our leader, Dr Bukola Saraki, to gain support for their new political adventure,” the statement said.

The party added that many of those promoting the coalition were either no longer with the PDP or played no significant role during the September 2024 local government elections.

“Yet, despite their absence, our party triumphed at the polls, a testament to the unwavering support we continue to enjoy from the people of Kwara State, regardless of result manipulation,” it added.

The PDP cautioned the politicians behind the coalition to desist from using Saraki’s name to win support or curry favour.

“If they are truly confident in their popularity and acceptance among the people, they should campaign based on their own track records and not hide behind the name and legacy of our leader.”

It reaffirmed that Dr Abubakar Bukola Saraki remains a proud and committed member of the PDP and is actively involved in efforts to reposition and unify the party ahead of the 2027 general elections.

“The PDP in Kwara remains united, focused, and loyal to its ideals. We advise all our members to disregard any invitation or pressure to join the so-called coalition and remain steadfast under the banner of the PDP,” the statement signed by the party’s state secretary, Abdulrahman Abdullahi Kayode, added.

When contacted on the PDP’s claim, the coalition’s contact person in the state, Hon. Abdulkadir Olanrewaju Oba-Aluko, told Daily Trust, “Really, I’m busy for now, but when I am through, I will call you.”

However, in an earlier statement, Oba-Aluko had confirmed that the proposed coalition seeking to unseat President Bola Ahmed Tinubu had extended its reach to Kwara State.

He called on organisations, groups, associations, and individuals to join what he described as “a national effort to rescue Nigeria from becoming a one-party state.”

Oba-Aluko urged interested entities to register by submitting their organisation’s name, two notable political leaders as referees, and their contact information.

He stated that the coalition’s objective is to build a formidable political alternative capable of challenging the APC’s hold on power and redirecting Nigeria’s future through collective leadership.

“The Kwara State chapter joins other geopolitical zones already engaged in sensitisation and grassroots mobilisation ahead of the 2027 elections,” he added.

100th NEC MEETING:

No Victor, No Vanquished, PDP, Nigerian Democracy Won.

This evening, our great party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), successfully concluded the 100th edition of its National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting. It was a symbolic gathering as the meeting could have either been the breaking point going by events of the last 48 hours or the junction to cross the Rubicon and march forward into greater heights. Our esteemed leaders chose the latter.

Today, there was no Victor and no vanquished. The winner today is the PDP. Another winner is Nigeria’s democracy because, without a vibrant opposition, democracy dies. Again, millions of our party members and supporters, who are located in all the 774 LGAs across the country also emerged winners.

To achieve victory for the party and the great people under its golden umbrella, all the leaders at the meeting resolved to jettison our differences and rally together to pursue a common goal: forget the past, rebuild trust that might have been broken, and give peace a chance.

I am particularly happy about the meeting for two reasons. One, we all agreed on the need for unity as a way of sending a signal to the entire nation that PDP can only wax stronger. This is because we have to live up to the expectations of the generality of our people as the only alternative, capable of providing good leadership to our country. Two, the spirit of give and take dominated our frank discussions.

From this point, we need to continue working further for unity, co-operation, and stability towards the next NEC meeting fixed for July 23rd. After that, we will focus on having a hitch-free National Convention.

As the chairman of the National Reconciliation and Strategy Committee set up by the PDP Governors Forum in May, I want to appreciate all our leaders, particularly, those who have to make huge sacrifice by conceding their earlier stands on some contending issues as a way of achieving peace, unity and stability in the party.

I thank all our leaders who chose to act in the interest of the party, even at the expense of their personal and partisan comfort. Overall, all glory be to almighty Allah for taking us this far.

The success of today’s NEC meeting is an indication that we have made some progress. We will continue to strive to strengthen the party and I am sure from now on, all hands will be on deck to achieve this noble purpose. We need to realise one fact: there is still a lot of work to be done. The spirit with which we achieved the peace today should be sustained from now on.

It is good that we have disappointed the pessimists.

I hope that with the outcome of today’s meeting, we have disproved the false propaganda being circulated in some quarters that those of us who chose to remain in PDP are only scheming for the death of the party as opposed to building a strong opposition. If this false narrative were true, the leaders who shifted positions to give peace a chance would have chosen an alternative course of action.

However, we are determined to make the party a strong opposition, capable of winning the next general election and serving our people better. We only need to forge ahead along these lines.

Once again, I thank all our leaders and the numerous members of this great party for their efforts.
