The Nyesom Wike-backed PDP faction led by Abdulraman Mohammed has rejected a proposed convention reportedly organised by the Tanimu Turaki-led group to endorse former President Goodluck Jonathan as its 2027 presidential candidate
In a statement issued on Friday in Abuja, the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Jungudo Mohammed, dismissed the plan as false and misleading, saying it was capable of stirring unnecessary political tension in the country.
He stressed that no organ of the party had authorised or scheduled any meeting or endorsement process of such nature.
According to him, the party has already completed all its statutory primary elections, including those for presidential, national assembly, governorship, and state houses of assembly positions, in line with the Electoral Act, INEC guidelines, and the party’s constitution.
Jungudo Mohammed stated, “The party wishes to categorically state that no such convention, meeting, or process has been scheduled, approved, or endorsed by the leadership or any recognised organ of the Peoples Democratic Party.
“We, therefore, urge all party faithful, supporters, stakeholders, and members of the public to disregard such false information, as it is misleading, unauthorised, and intended to create confusion within the polity.
“In view of this development, we respectfully call on former President Goodluck Jonathan to publicly dissociate himself from this charade in order to protect the integrity of the democratic process and preserve the credibility he earned while serving the nation.”
