The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Abdullahi Ganduje, has predicted that the end of the Peoples Democratic Party will come before the end of 2025.
He said people like a former Governor of Jigawa State, Sule Lamido, will soon defect to the APC when the reality dawns on them that their party, which is the PDP, will soon go into extinction.
The former governor of Kano State was reacting to remarks by Lamido, who claimed that the APC would soon disintegrate and that former PDP members, including Ganduje, would return to the opposition party.
But in a statement issued on Sunday by Ganduje’s chief press secretary, Edwin Olofu, the national chairman of the ruling party said such remarks were “baseless and illogical”.
He said, “In fact, we will soon receive Sule Lamido because very soon he won’t have where to go. The PDP is dead.
“It is evident to any discerning observer that under the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the APC continues to gain momentum, with prominent political figures across the country defecting to the party in large numbers.
“With such overwhelming national support, the APC remains focused on consolidating its achievements and preparing for a resounding victory in the 2027 general elections.”
Ganduje said his leadership is committed to deepening internal democracy and advancing sustainable governance.
Ganduje had said there was nothing wrong with having a one-party system in Nigeria, saying “China is one of the strongest countries in the world, and it’s a one-party system.”
