PDP won’t succumb to forces seeking its collapse, Turaki vows

The Chairman of the National Democratic Party (PDP), Tanimu Turaki, has affirmed that the party will not fall prey to undemocratic forces attempting to undermine its existence. Speaking in Abuja, Turaki addressed the party's 2027 governorship candidates loyal to the Interim National Working Committee (INWC) after a recent court ruling.

The Court of Appeal dismissed an appeal by Turaki's faction, headed by former Senate President Adolphus Wabara, seeking to force the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to recognize Turaki's Interim National Working Committee. Turaki emphasized that the PDP will persist in its efforts to overcome the challenges it faces.

He pledged the party's determination to remain strong and resilient, stating that whatever adversities it encounters, the PDP will not go down. The faction's board chairman expressed hope that the Supreme Court would rule in their favor, assuring that the PDP will continue to be the dominant political force in Nigeria.
