- They said the PDP remains a reliable and better option for Nigeria, adding that the party will pull the country out of the doldrums it is currently in.
Governors elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) say they are confident Nigerians will reject the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) at the polls in 2027.
The governors said Nigerians are grappling with unprecedented inflation and a cost-of-living crisis as the APC government impoverishes them with its poor governance and divisive policies.
In a statement issued after the governors’ meeting in Gusau, Zamfara State, on Saturday, they said the PDP remains a reliable and better option for Nigeria, adding that the party will pull the country out of the doldrums it is currently in.
The forum revealed that discussions at the meeting focused on national issues such as insecurity, the decline of democratic practices, and preparations for the party’s forthcoming national convention.
They also lauded PDP supporters for standing firm in the face of what they described as intimidation and irregularities during recent by-elections.
The governors also alleged that the polls were heavily militarised and marred by vote buying and violence.
They also urged members to resist attempts to derail the process of the forthcoming national convention of the party.
On security matters, the governors further decried ongoing killings in Katsina, Plateau, Niger, Benue and other states.
They reminded the Tinubu-led administration of the security situation, calling on him to act swiftly to protect lives and property.
Those in attendance included Bala Mohammed of Bauchi, Dauda Lawal of Zamfara, Agbu Kefas of Taraba, Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa, Seyi Makinde of Oyo, Douye Diri of Bayelsa, and Ademola Adeleke of Osun
