PDP Dismisses Akpabio's Claims of Party's Demise

The People's Democratic Party (PDP) has responded to claims made by Godswill Akpabio, the President of the Senate, asserting that the party is dead. In a statement issued by the PDP's National Publicity Secretary, Moham Jungudo, on Wednesday, the party emphasized that it remains alive and strong, actively undergoing a rebuilding process in preparation for future elections.

The PDP highlighted its recent electoral victories and the influx of prominent political figures joining the party, which demonstrates its continued relevance and appeal across Nigeria. Akpabio's remarks were made during a speech regarding a road project in Gaduwa District, Federal Capital Territory, where he expressed surprise at the PDP's existence.

The PDP countered Akpabio's assertions by referencing its long-standing record of producing capable leaders and maintaining achievements over its 27-year history. The party urged respect for the Senate President's office and reiterated its commitment to reconnecting with Nigerians and expanding its support base.
