The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has described the boasts by Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to unseat it in the 2027 general elections as empty and mere illusion.
Lagos State APC spokesman, Mr Seye Oladejo, made this remark in a statement issued on Thursday in Lagos.
Oladejo’s remark was in response to a recent claim by PDP that only the former ruling party had the “structure and strength” to unseat APC in the 2027 general elections.
According to Oladejo, such ‘political daydreaming’ should ordinarily be dismissed as the routine rhetoric of an opposition party desperate to stay relevant, adding that for the benefit of the public and in defence of facts over fiction, APC had found it necessary to set the record straight.
“PDP’s claim of possessing the structure and strength to defeat APC is both laughable and detached from the current political reality in Nigeria.
“What structure is the PDP referring to — the same disjointed, crisis-ridden and fragmented formation that has failed to present a united front since 2015? Or the same “strength” that has led to serial losses at the polls, mass defections of key figures and internal implosions across states?
“It is clear that the PDP is yet to recover from the political rejection it suffered over the past decade — a rejection rooted in its legacy of corruption, impunity and squandered national opportunities,” he said.
