PANDEF Declares Neutral Stance for 2027 Presidential Election
The Pan Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF) declared on Tuesday that it is not backing any presidential candidate for the 2027 general election. The organization urged voters in the South-South to select leaders based on their ability to advance the interests of the Niger Delta.
National Chairman Ambassador Godknows Igali and ex-Akwa Ibom State Governor Victor Attah made this announcement after a meeting attended by various stakeholders from the six South-South states. Igali emphasized that PANDEF is non-partisan and not aligned with any political party or candidate, including President Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
He encouraged the region's populace to scrutinize candidates and vote according to their conscience, reflecting the development needs of the Niger Delta. Attah reiterated that PANDEF has not endorsed any candidate and remains neutral.
This clarification comes as political parties prepare for the 2027 elections, with the South-South being a significant political bloc due to its oil and gas resources.
