We will not support Tinubu, Turaki led PDP faction tells Wike – Daily Trust

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP faction beneath the management of Kabiru Tanimu Turaki, has rejected the decision by the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT Nyesom Wike for all members of the social gathering to support the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in 2027.
Comrade Ini Ememobong, National Publicity Secretary of the Interim National Working Committee of the PDP in an announcement in Abuja on Tuesday mentioned stories credited to Wike that PDP candidates ought to collapse their constructions and support President Tinubu is nothing new.
According to the PDP faction, the message is not directed at “real PDP members. The message is meant for persons who, like him, are pretenders in the opposition but are working for the governing party.” Ememobong mentioned.
The assertion additional mentioned, “the true and principled members of the Peoples Democratic Party are not part of the self-serving support for the APC-led Federal Government and its destructive policies.”
The PDP faction mentioned the paramount obligation of the opposition is to offer an alternative choice to the incumbent, not to therapeutic massage their ego, including that “If at all opposition parties are to have an alliance, it will be amongst themselves, not with the governing party. This political anomaly, styled and championed as a “rainbow coalition,” is the best risk to electoral democracy and the quickest means of railroading the nation into an electoral monarchy.

The social gathering urged “true and devoted members of the Peoples Democratic Party to stay steadfast as we await the judiciary’s determination, hopeful that it will return our social gathering to its true house owners. Our case on the Court of Appeal has been heard, and we await judgment. We know that all the judiciary is aware that justice delayed is justice denied.

“Nigerians should be wary of elite accommodation and state capture masquerading as broad-based political collaboration. The election next year provides a great opportunity to vote out these insensitive and irresponsible political actors.” The social gathering mentioned.
