FCT Results Signal PDP Resurgence Ahead of 2027 —Gbenga Hashim Says

A presidential aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Dr. Gbenga Hashim, has described the outcome of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Area Council elections as strong evidence that the party is regaining momentum ahead of the 2027 general elections,despite internal challenges and political pressure.

Reacting to the results, Hashim congratulated party members and supporters for what he termed an “outstanding performance under difficult circumstances,” saying the polls demonstrated that the PDP remains structurally intact and electorally competitive despite internal challenges.

“The PDP is a resurgent party,” Hashim stated. “In spite of leadership disputes at the national level and deliberate efforts to weaken our structure in the FCT, the people stood firmly by the party.”

The PDP was officially declared winner in one Area Council. However, Hashim maintained that the party ought to have secured victory in three additional councils, alleging that its mandate was undermined in those areas.

“Even with the obvious irregularities, the strength of the PDP was undeniable,” he said.

Beyond the chairmanship contest, the PDP clinched several councillorship seats across the FCT, a development Hashim described as proof of sustained grassroots loyalty and organizational resilience.

He specifically commended ward leaders, polling unit agents, and party supporters for their “unshakable loyalty to the party logo.”

“You cannot suppress structure. You cannot intimidate conviction. The grassroots have spoken,” he declared.

Hashim further characterized the FCT performance as the beginning of a broader political revival for the PDP, expressing optimism that a united and stabilized party would be formidable in 2027.

“This election marks the start of our resurgence. If we can perform this strongly under strain, imagine what a united and fully stabilized PDP will achieve in 2027,” he said.

Political observers note that the FCT polls served as an early test of the PDP’s electoral strength amid its ongoing leadership crisis.

For Hashim and his supporters, the results represent not only encouragement but also renewed momentum as the countdown to 2027 begins.

According to the presidential hopeful, the narrative of decline surrounding the PDP is misplaced.

“The PDP is not declining. The PDP is rebuilding. And this is only the beginning,” he said.

Quote of the day after FCT Election

Me self shock say PDP with all their issues won one of the areas.

ADC the noisemaker can’t even win any. Na so so social media noise they sabi.

If we conduct poll now on nairaland, na ADC go win. But on ground, they are non-existent.

Only if they tried to stay and rebuild while expelling the mules

Don’t deceive yourself. While PDP is no doubt the no2 party, PDP is dead.

Fayose predicted this 3 years ago. He said PDP will win local elections but as a national force they are gone!

All PDP has done is win a local election. If PDP is going to stage a comeback, it certainly won’t be for 2027.


Everybody has that dumb cousin who lives in an alternate universe and always says daft things or outright lies. For example he has a story of how he once travelled from Lagos to Ibadan in 10 minutes…..that’s Olawepo Hashim.

Pdp is generally dead and buried, winning 1 council area doesn't mean much. They should Annex there remaining structure to ADC come 2027, to stand a chance of remaining relevant

ADC needs to sit up like fix this particular stuff grassroots mobilisations is better and poll unity agents

Make PDP wey win one outsource their structure to ADC than won none?

Atiku will have more votes if he contest under PDP than that ADC. Even Atiku knows this.

Dey deceive yaself!

You will be surprised!

AntiChristian:
Dey deceive yaself!

You will be surprised!

I think you should thank Wike that dashed you that small win

Which ADC? You mean the one his candidate for just concluded score 7 votes out of 10 in his own polling unit?. He cam only mobilize 10 people to the poll in his unit

Orisirisi
See wertin ADC cause now
PDP don dey make mouth
Just imagine, PDP having more hope in 2027 than ADC.
Well PDP is not an online political party, they should boast sha, they have point.

Na wike destroy pdp for selfish reasons, atiku too

You were shocked that PDP that has existed for 27 years won some seats but ADC that has existed for 6 months didn't win some seats.

Shows how worthless your "shock value" is!

Even ADC too is coming back big and strong, going by their Gwarinpa and TradeMall votes

I don't see ADC going anywhere as long as they keep using 2023 method. How can u put Benue man and chairman and Igbo man as vice in Hausa domin and u expect results. Can Fulani man win Chairman election in Anambra.

It's better we wake up and take the party serious. Use the competent candidate from same tribe, same community.

I’m just tired. Can’t these new parties see that they are dividing the strength of the opposition🤷🏻‍♀️🤦‍♀️ It almost feels like Peter Obi is being paid by Tinubu, because what is this🤷🏻‍♀️. He’s the reason Tinubu won in 2023 and he’s poised to do it again in 2027.

This is a good leader unlike atiku that was spewing rubbish and blaming tinubu.

A leader who cant make lemonade from lemons but will rather look for who to blame when the chips are down is not a leader but a leech.

Quote of the day after FCT Election

The ADC an Association of Dejected Congress of politically rejected & deluded Empty Barrels.

I'm sure the guy that won on the PDP platform is in Wike camp.

Dear Alhaji Hashim,

Stop the day dream, PDP is as technically gone as it's exco.

There is one Man who I see is the main target of this Abuja LG elections and it's Peter Obi.

Every Arsenal was thrown into the ring including a political curfew because he showed specific interest in a candidate Dr. Mo.

Anyone who thinks PO doesn't stand as Presidential Candidate is a big Political Neophyte.

The Anambra Elections and Abuja Elections were target specific to demoralise his support base whilst making him look like a villain.

Unfortunately, the power and energy to legally crush the ruling party has been unleashed.

The Primaries of the ADC will determine the next line of action.

Wike and PBAT have been detected as money politician and they will be surprised on the onslaught in the next 11 months.

The confused Apga & LP Judas claims the FG doesn’t want him on the ballot? when it is to the benefit of the ruling party that he is on the ballot, so as to help them split the opposition’s votes like he glad fully did for Bola Tinubu in the 2023 general election.

Governor Soludo & Anambra people are just laughing @ him, e go Abuja go dey campaign?

Nothing can be worse than a Judas that is confused, u know what the cliche says, “ Who the gods want to destroy politically they first make mad”.

Over sabi Agulu smartpolician.

No be under the ADC Dumebi Kachikwu run for President in the 2023 general election?

Dreaming is part of life.

The APC 1st, The PDP 2nd, The ADC 3rd 2027 general election, similar to the 2023 general election,The APC 1st, The PDP 2nd, The LP 3rd.

This man and delusion ehn

There seems to be some stability in the country under the helms of Tinubu truth be said. Huge challenges lay ahead, but students are breathing a sigh of relief with hardly any university strike that left students graduating 7 years after they enrol under PDP

Remind us how long it took APC to start winning positions(both from defection and elections)?
