PDP Celebrates Senator Onor as Presidential Candidate for 2027

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), under the leadership of Minister of the Federal Capital Territory Nyesom Wike, announced the publication of Senator Sandy Ojang Onor as its presidential candidate for the 2027 general election by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). This announcement has ended months of speculation regarding the party's participation in the upcoming election.

The PDP expressed that the inclusion of Onor and his running mate, Babangida Umar, on INEC's list is a major milestone in their preparations. In a statement from National Publicity Secretary Jungudo Mohammed, the party emphasized that this development has countered misinformation suggesting the PDP would fail to produce a candidate.

The party also expressed gratitude to its members and supporters for their steadfastness during challenging times and commended INEC, the judiciary, and security agencies for upholding the rule of law. The PDP reaffirmed its commitment to reconciliation and unity, appealing to aggrieved members to return as they prepare for the election.
