PDP Announces Sandy Onor As Consensus Presidential Candidate For 2027

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) led by Abdulrahman Mohammed has announced former Cross River State governorship candidate, Senator Sandy Onor, as its consensus presidential candidate for the 2027 general election.

The announcement was made by the Chairman of the PDP Presidential Primaries Collation Committee and former Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom, during the collation and presentation of the party’s presidential primary results at the Wadata Plaza Abuja on Tuesday.

Members of the presidential primaries collation committee said the exercise followed consultations and voice votes conducted among party members across the states.

Senator Onor emerged as the sole presidential aspirant after declaring his intention to contest the 2027 presidential election and obtaining his expression of interest and nomination forms earlier this month.

Speaking during the exercise, Ortom said the committee had been engaging with party members across the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory and had arrived at a consensus ahead of the announcement.

He later officially presented Senator Sandy Onor as the PDP’s consensus presidential candidate for the 2027 general election.

National Commissioners of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Abdullahi Zuru and Prof. Rhoda Habor Gumus, alongside other officials of the commission, monitored the exercise at the party’s national secretariat.

Following the announcement, the leadership of the PDP presented a certificate of return and the party’s flag to Senator Sandy Onor as the party’s presidential candidate.

Where is Jonathan contesting? Which PDP?

See what has become of PDP, erstwhile largest party in Africa. A flag bearer that cannot even win his local government in the general election.

Sandals ni Sandra ko

Abeg

Na Jonathan we know, and not some tomato can. The 2027 election is Atikus to lose.

What happened to Makinde?

I predicted this weeks ago that the Wike wing of PDP will present an unknown presidential candidate.

DoTheNeedful:
I was expecting a response from Wike's camp.

Makinde's "presidential run" is only meant to shore up support for his national assembly candidates in 2027. The presidential and national assembly elections will take place the same day.

Makinde does not want to take a risk of having his candidates run on a troubled PDP platform. What if his faction loses in the end? He also doesn't want to decamp from PDP so as not to appear as a loser to the Wike's faction. The best he could do is to encourage his candidates to run on APM platform, and create a facade of a PDP-APM alliance, run as a PDP presidential candidate to shore up support for his national assembly candidates.

In the long run, this is likely to fail. I see Wike's faction presenting another weak presidential candidate, which INEC would recognize. INEC currently still officially recognize the Wike faction. In addition, the ordinary voters are likely to be confused as to which party to vote for. Some of them might vote for PDP and others for APM.

Finally, BAT will win Oyo convincingly, Makinde will likely not be on the ballot, and his many of his candidates will lose because of the confusion the "PDP-APM alliance" would create.

Atiku is not popular by any stretch of the imagination.

APC will be worse than that of PDP when time comes

Isn't it oko mama peace anymore

Court cases go yapa

Emperor Wicked Wike no wan gree 😅

Tinubu is a badass. Like it or not.

See what PDP that was so mighty has become. I can recall Tony Anenih saying confidently they will rule for 100 years and it was very believable then.

I remember way back, Wike saying that though he and Tinubu might be in different parties, he respects Bola for being principled and not jumping from party to party like the you-know-who

99.9% of politicians in Nigeria are fair-weather. They lack imagination. Tinubu has no peer. That's why he effortlessly defeats opposition.

This Wike faction are really taking Nigerians for fools.

On the ballot paper how many PDP are we going to have

Please who is Sandy onor?

He will just step down 24hours to the election and endorse Tinubu for president, that is the game plan of this faction 🤣
