PANDEF Declares No Presidential Candidate for 2027 Elections
The Pan Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF) announced that it has not adopted any presidential candidate for the 2027 general elections, including President Bola Tinubu. This position was articulated by PANDEF’s National Chairman, Ambassador Godknows Igali, and the Chairman of its Board of Trustees, Victor Attah, during a meeting with regional leaders.
Igali emphasized that PANDEF is non-partisan and will not support any candidate, urging voters to make informed choices based on candidates' abilities to advance the Niger Delta's interests. He called for peaceful participation in the elections and encouraged Niger Delta indigenes in federal appointments to engage more with the forum.
Attah reiterated PANDEF's neutral stance, stating that the forum would not align with any candidate. The statement comes as campaigns for the elections intensify, with the South-South region being a significant electoral bloc due to its oil wealth.
PANDEF also reiterated its demand to increase the derivation allocation to oil-producing states from 13 percent to 50 percent.
