The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has framed the 2027 general elections as a decisive battle between President Bola Tinubu’s policies and the survival of everyday Nigerians. Speaking at the presentation of a Certificate of Return to its Anambra governorship candidate, PDP Acting National Chairman Ambassador Umar Damagum declared, “The 2027 election isn’t about political figures—it’s about Tinubu and the suffering masses.”
Damagum emphasized that Nigerians are enduring severe economic hardship due to current government policies, urging citizens to “close ranks and rescue ourselves from this inflicted pain.” The PDP aims to shift focus from political calculations to real-life struggles, positioning itself as the voice of the oppressed.
The party also expressed frustration over recent defections, including Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori and ex-Governor Ifeanyi Okowa. Damagum called their exits “a painful betrayal” of loyal supporters who stood by them.
With Nigeria’s cost of living crisis worsening, the PDP’s message signals a strategic push to regain public trust ahead of what analysts predict will be a fiercely contested election. Will 2027 be a referendum on Tinubu’s leadership? The PDP is betting on it.
