PDP faction rejects Tinubu support
PDP faction under Kabiru Tanimu Turaki says Nigerian opposition won't back Tinubu's 2027 re-election.
“the true and principled members of the Peoples Democratic Party are not part of the self-serving support for the APC-led Federal Government and its destructive policies.”
Opposition duty
True opposition must offer alternatives, not support ruling party or its policies.
“If at all opposition parties are to have an alliance, it will be amongst themselves, not with the governing party.”
Rainbow coalition threat
The faction calls the 'rainbow coalition' a threat to democracy and fastest path to electoral monarchy.
“This political anomaly, styled and championed as a "rainbow coalition," is the greatest threat to electoral democracy and the fastest way of railroading the country into an electoral monarchy.”
Judiciary decision
PDP awaits court ruling to return party to true owners after appeal.
“We know that the entire judiciary is conscious that justice delayed is justice denied.”
The bottom line
Nigerian PDP faction led by Turaki rejects supporting Tinubu's 2027 re-election, calling it a threat to democracy.
