The National Working Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party has warned members against endorsing President Bola Tinubu for re-election.
The party recently described such endorsement as an anti-party activity.
Speaking via a press statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, PDP shared that members who have been openly declaring support for the All Progressives Congress ahead of the 2027 presidential election are a serious threat to the stability of the party.
According to him, the NWC of the PDP will take action against the anti-party activities by erring members henceforth, because their words directly violate the provisions of the PDP Constitution (as amended in 2017).
“The National Working Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party has reviewed the anti-party activities of certain members of the Party, particularly those endorsing President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for re-election in 2027.
Of serious concern is the persistent public media outbursts against our Party by some prominent members whose actions and utterances including their public declaration of support and willingness to work for the victory of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 Presidential election in violation of the provision of the PDP Constitution (as amended in 2017) constitute a serious threat to the stability and sustenance of our Party,” he wrote.
The PDP further noted that members are prohibited from aligning with other parties or groups to undermine the PDP or its elected officials.
Debo concluded by saying that the reckless statements by members, if not curbed in time, will continue to divide the party.
“Specifically, Section 10 (6) of the PDP Constitution provides that “NO MEMBER of the Party SHALL align with other Parties or groups to undermine the Party or any of its elected government.
Such anti-party activities have continued to impact negatively on the PDP leading to division, disaffection and heavy hemorrhaging of members with the capacity to diminish our Party’s electoral fortune if not immediately checked,” he added.
