The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Governors Forum has firmly rejected rumors suggesting that five of its members are backing a possible Nasir El-Rufai and Peter Obi presidential ticket for the 2027 elections.
Senator Bala Mohammed, the Chairman of the PDP Governors Forum and Governor of Bauchi State, addressed the speculation through an official statement issued by Dr. Emmanuel Agbo, the Director-General of the forum. The statement, released on Saturday, condemned the reports and labeled them as baseless fabrications aimed at creating division.
PDP Denies Political Endorsements
Senator Bala Mohammed emphasized that the PDP Governors Forum strongly opposes these claims, dismissing them as deliberate misinformation spread by individuals seeking to undermine the party’s unity and stability.
He stated, “It is essential for the PDP Governors Forum, under my leadership, to categorically refute these misleading reports and the deceptive narratives being promoted by those who are uncomfortable with the progress and performance of our party. These detractors have failed in governance and are now resorting to propaganda to destabilize the opposition.”
PDP’s Stand on 2027 Presidential Election
According to the forum, opposition elements are attempting to sow discord within the PDP by spreading false claims about secret deals supporting an El-Rufai/Obi ticket. The statement clarified that the party remains committed to upholding democracy and ensuring a fair electoral process.
“Certain individuals have been funding factions within our party to weaken its structure. Now, they are shifting their strategy towards direct confrontation with our governors. Their goal is to weaken the opposition and create a single-party dominance through manipulative tactics,” the statement added.
The forum reassured party members that the PDP remains focused on unity, reconciliation, and progressive governance. It reiterated that the party’s leadership will fully support its official candidate in the 2027 election rather than engaging in premature speculations.
Rejecting Falsehoods and Strengthening Party Cohesion
The PDP Governors Forum accused its detractors of being intimidated by the party’s growing influence and the positive governance efforts by its governors across the states. The statement reaffirmed that despite challenges from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), the PDP remains resolute in its mission to provide better leadership and economic solutions for Nigerians.
“Political rumors and speculations are common, but we will not allow misinformation to mislead Nigerians. Our principles remain firm—equity, social justice, transparency, and good governance,” the forum declared.
In conclusion, the PDP Governors Forum reaffirmed its commitment to democratic values and vowed to stand by whoever emerges as the party’s presidential candidate in the 2027 elections.
