PDP Criticizes Diri's Comments on 2027 Elections

The People's Democratic Party (PDP) has condemned comments made by Bayelsa State Governor Douye Diri, who suggested that opposition parties would soon learn the advantages of incumbency ahead of the 2027 general elections. PDP's statement, issued by Hon. Ikaebimo Mark at the party's secretariat in Yenagoa, asserted that the party remains deeply rooted in the hearts of the Bayelsa people, emphasizing that no political power can withstand the collective will of the populace.

The PDP reminded that political history in Nigeria has consistently shown that incumbents lacking genuine grassroots support cannot endure against a determined electorate seeking change and justice. The party reaffirmed its commitment to the development and progress of the Ijaw nation and the entire state, highlighting its long-standing bond with the people built through shared struggles and sacrifices.
