PDP Warns Members Backing Tinubu Of Sanctions
The National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has issued a stern warning to members engaging in anti-party activities, particularly those openly endorsing President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for re-election in 2027.
In a statement signed by the National Publicity Secretary, Hon. Debo Ologunagba, on Friday, the party expressed deep concern over what it described as persistent public media outbursts and declarations of support for the All Progressives Congress (APC) by some of its prominent members.
According to the NWC, such actions, including public pledges to work for APC’s victory in the 2027 presidential election, violate the PDP Constitution and threaten the party’s stability.
It cited Section 10 (6) of the constitution, which states that “NO MEMBER of the Party SHALL align with other Parties or groups to undermine the Party or any of its elected government.”
“These 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 electoral fortune if not immediately checked,” the statement read.
The NWC invoked Section 59 (1) of the party’s constitution to formally reprimand those involved, warning that failure to desist would attract stiffer sanctions.
The statement urged all members to remain loyal and focused, adding that attention should be directed towards the successful conduct of the party’s National Convention slated for November 15 and 16, 2025, in Ibadan, Oyo State.
