The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has called on Nigerians to rise against one-party state.

The party made this call in a statement on Tuesday as it prepares for its National convention in August in Kano.

It said that the event will serve as a pivotal moment to elect new national officers, strengthen internal democracy, and reposition the PDP as a formidable force to rescue Nigeria from the grip of the failed All Progressives Congress, APC, ahead of the 2027 general elections.


The statement added that the National Convention will prioritize merit, transparency, and inclusivity in electing leaders capable of confronting the APC’s misrule.

“Nigerians must therefore rise to resist the APC’s sinister plot to transform Nigeria into a one-party totalitarian state.

“The Tinubu-led administration’s economic policies have inflicted unprecedented hardship, with rising poverty, insecurity, and wanton killings plaguing the nation.

“The APC’s desperate attempts to stifle opposition voices through sponsorship of crisis within political parties, threats, intimidation, and attacks on democratic institutions reveal their fear of imminent defeat in 2027.

“The PDP as a party that stands for the rule of law, and the supremacy of the will of the people is gearing up to restore democratic principles in 2027,” it said.

It charged Nigerians reject the APC’s anti-people policies and join the PDP in building a united front to reclaim Nigeria’s future.


According to the statement, the August 2025 National Convention will lay the foundation for a reinvigorated PDP, ready to lead the charge for a Nigeria where every citizen thrives.

It, therefore, urged party members, other critical stakeholders, and patriotic Nigerians to rally behind the PDP as it prepares to elect leaders who will champion the aspirations of the Nigerian people.

“Together, we will defeat the APC’s authoritarian agenda and restore Nigeria to the path of progress, security, and economic stability,” it added.

If the parties get their act together, their own members won't be leaving in droves. How do they expect people to stay in a party in shambles.

Ask PDP members who their National Secretary is
Ask LP who their chairman is
Ask NNPP is Kwankwaso is still an active member.

When APC was in opposition was there a time they had contentions over exco members?

You that couldn't rise against Nyesom Wike. While you ask us to rise... I am asking you leaders in PDP.


Where are your children?

Make I rise make thugs silence me abi? I no dey rise anything, I no be Ijebu garri

PDP is part of the problem.

Akpabio who is the enabler in chief is a former PDP.

PDP just was'nt as brave as this APC but they are all the same.

Now that PDP see APC succeed in these rubbish, if given a chance they will do worse.

The only way out is for us to revolutionize our electoral system

Oya oo Nigerians!!!!

PigDickPee is calling you guys.

PDP=APC

Other parties should get their affairs in order

Whether one party or million party, just let there be credible free&fair elections where the votes of all Nigerians will count.

They should expell Wike first,if they are serious about anything. Failed party wan use Nigerians head,as APC use them 2015..

Sai Baba

Tinubu is a failure. Tinubu is using fuel subsidy money to buy politicians over.

Nigerians must rise against greedy recycled old politicians that dont care about them.

When PDP were in control 30 states... nobody raised alarm.

PDP failed to act as opposition party,if it was the time of APC the government for hear am.Apc are the real masters of opposition.Na only Obi dey try small but because of how APC done turn everything to tribal lines the man is being careful.

Still yet ,their wicked no reach APC own now na. People dey eat 3 square meal then.. Them even see strength dey campaign against Gej. Now Apc don comot food for people mouth. Some person are just living and waiting for whatever happens after,cux nothing is sure for them. I heard of a young man who lost his job cux the company he was working with folded. Baba use his savings start business. I heard the business don still collapse,even when he tried his best. All these are workings of the useless party called Apc. Even those defending them online,are suffering offline. And you think say na lie ask Yarimo. I hardly see his comment these days,cux for him to buy 1gb now,he go have to stay hunger for a day. He decided to choose his stomach over senseless defending of his oppressors

Ogbeni build your party and stop capping. Na Tinubu go build am for u? Foolish people dem

Which faction of the PDP said so pls
PDP is the architect of all of our woes, by ailing to provide a proper opposition to the ruler party which gives PBAT the god complex.
The major source of division is HE Atiku Abubakar presidential ambition..thinking further, you will realise Atiku is also the same as PMB, the desperation to become the President at all cost, PBAT only outwitted him by playing bolekaja politics

You guys should do your work and stop finger pointing...

Nigerians NEVER take responsibility always playing the blame game.

Lol...

But when PDP had 28 sitting governors, it was not a one-party state. Bunch of hypocrites.

Second base abeg....

In essence, you're admitting that you no longer see food to eat again. Which means you're dying of hunger?

Hahahahaha una go rise taya.

When pdp was controlling 27 states out of Nigeria 31 states pls do you cry one party then? Hell No, then you are all smiling going home with Ghana must Go full of cash.

But, the subject matter here is all about political structure and not economy.

Is it Togolese that are in APC? Take responsibility and put yourselves together you sissies. Your chieftains, governors, senators, reps and spokesmen are leaving you in droves. Talk to yourselves. Imagine if Tinubu just sat crying about one party state in 2007. OBJ was so happy about it then. Some people even boasted about it in GEJ administration. But the opposition was so purposeful and tore through every loophole then. i remember them helping and recruiting the aggrieved like Amaechi, Rochas, SLS, Saraki and co. Tinubu was literally carrying an hopeless and psychologically defeated Buhari. He didn't blame the Federal government for party weakness. They were objective, organising colloquims, selling Lagos template on media, etc.

"My party can't have 28 governors and you expect us to lose election. Impossible! If the people want one party state, so be it...."

Pdp is just like a man who can't impregnate his wife but blame his neighbors has the cause.

PDP once had 27 out of 36 states. They didn't cry one party state. Bad losers

It was even actually 31 out of 36 States in 2007

Same PDP that has failed to rise above Wike

The should all get out

Tinubu is a bloody hypocrite like Buhari who all did the worst of whatever they ever opposed

Rise to vote who really?

Atiku or obi…I am not an hypocrite ok

I stand by Tinubu the 001

Call me names you call your father.

Abeg go sit down for dirty jor😒

Ngerians keh

Very simple

PDP should put their house in order
Eject Wike from PDP
Eject Atiku if he won't support Southern candidates
Bring in Peter Obi, he is PDP best bet for now

If you can't do any or all of the above then the issue is PDP not APC, PDP is the enabler of one party state

Then you PDP members try and settle your issues and problems in the party...it's the problems of the PDP party that is making PDP members to defect to APC... also suspend wike that is destabilizing the party and causing problems and issues in the party and involving in anti party activities

weak and shameless pdp.

NO its PDP that should say no to one party state .

PDP needs put its house in order first and ensure they field a different candidate from Atiku for Presidency if they really have the intention to win the elections. I think Atiku's selfishness is one of the major challenges of the party.
