A Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship aspirant in Oyo, Olufemi Ajadi Oguntoyinbo, has declared that the PDP remains the only truly national party capable of reclaiming power from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 general elections.
Ajadi made the assertion while congratulating the party on the appointment and swearing-in of a 13-member National Caretaker Committee to oversee its affairs.
The committee, chaired by Tanimu Turaki (SAN), was ratified by the PDP’s Board of Trustees in conjunction with Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde during the party’s 103rd National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting held in Abuja.
The motion for the committee’s formation was moved by Edo State PDP Chairman, Tony Aziegbemi, and seconded by an ex officio member of the party.
In a statement issued shortly after the development, Ajadi commended the leadership of the new committee and urged its members, particularly the National Secretary, Taofeek Arapaja, to consolidate on the unity currently being enjoyed within the party following recent legal clarity from the Supreme Court.
He described the committee’s assignment as “herculean,” noting that it comes at a critical period when the party must mobilize effectively ahead of the next general elections.
“PDP is the only national party in the country, and we must not disappoint millions of Nigerians who are looking up to us to rescue them from the hardship imposed by the APC,” Ajadi said.
The aspirant expressed optimism about the party’s chances in 2027, assuring supporters nationwide that the PDP is regaining strength and will reclaim its dominant position.
“PDP is an iroko tree that cannot be pulled down,” he added.
