The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos State has hailed the wave of endorsements for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu ahead of 2027 as evidence that his re-election is “settled.”
Speaking on Tuesday in Lagos, APC Spokesman Mr Seye Oladejo dismissed criticism from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), which accused the ruling party of attempting to buy support amid fears of internal weakness.
“The only people in panic mode are those with an empty shell called a party,” Oladejo said, describing PDP as “reduced to an empty kiosk” and likening its internal disarray to “headless chickens” scrambling at the whisper of disagreement.
He claimed that while PDP searches desperately for presidential candidates, Tinubu’s endorsements reflect genuine recognition of reforms, courage, and leadership.
“President Tinubu’s endorsements are not panic but proof. Proof of reforms that are taking root, proof of courage that Nigerians admire, and proof of leadership that even PDP’s closet sympathisers quietly acknowledge,” Oladejo said.
He further alleged that PDP remains blinded by bitterness, having “wasted Nigeria’s wealth and opportunities” over 16 years, while Tinubu has been “bearing the heavy burden of reforms.”
“For avoidance of doubt, every endorsement of President Tinubu is another confirmation that 2027 is a settled matter. PDP can only look forward to yet another humiliating defeat – the type that makes a mockery of their relevance and confirms their total rejection by Nigerians,” he added.
According to Oladejo, if PDP fails to address its internal crisis, it risks losing the remainder of its political relevance.
“For APC, the journey continues. For PDP, the panic continues. APC builds, PDP bleeds,” he added.
