The Zamfara State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party has rejected the endorsement of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for a second term by the All Progressives Congress in the state, labelling it “a political comedy and a joke taken too far.”
In a statement released by its Publicity Secretary, Halliru Andi, the PDP said the stakeholders meeting of the APC in Talata Mafara, where the endorsement took place, was simply a desperate attempt to revive an expired product.
According to the statement, “the endorsement is nothing but an insult to the intelligence of suffering Nigerians.”
The PDP questioned how anyone could endorse a President whose administration, in just over a year, has brought about widespread hardship, hunger, insecurity, unemployment, and poverty across the country.
It further accused APC leaders in Zamfara of being selfish and out of touch with the reality of the people’s suffering.
The party added that the same leaders “who ruined Zamfara and Nigeria are now attempting to sell an expired political product to the same masses they have betrayed.”
The PDP continued, “Whenever APC leaders in Zamfara gather, it is never about the welfare of the people, but rather about sharing positions, protecting personal interests, and plotting how to remain politically relevant.”
It also blamed the APC-led government for worsening insecurity and the collapse of the economy, noting that under President Tinubu and the APC, life has become unbearable for ordinary Nigerians.
The PDP assured that “2027 will not be business as usual,” declaring that the days of deceit, manipulation, and propaganda are over.
The statement added that Nigerians “will reject Tinubu and the APC overwhelmingly at the polls.”
“Our great party, the PDP, remains the only credible alternative with a clear vision to restore hope, rebuild the economy, and secure our nation from the devastating failures of the APC,” it said.
The party urged the people of Zamfara to ignore the “political drama in Talata Mafara,” insisting that “it was never a meeting for the people, but a meeting for the few.”
It concluded by saying, “Zamfara State and Nigeria deserve better and that better future lies with the PDP.”
