The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has stated that it will not succumb to pressure despite reports of fresh defections to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
The party remains committed to defending Nigeria’s democracy ahead of the 2027 general elections, according to the National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba.
No amount of blackmail or harassment can silence the PDP. These defections are moves orchestrated by those who want to turn Nigeria into a one-party state.
Ologunagba described the spate of defections as part of a deliberate effort to weaken the opposition and tilt the country towards a one-party state.
