The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, says the 2027 general elections will be a referendum on the failures of the All Progressives Congress, APC-led federal government.

This was as it faulted the APC for its handling of insecurity, economic hardship, and governance, vowing to hold the government accountable for its shortcomings.

The National Publicity Secretary of the party, Debo Ologunagba, stated this at an interactive session with journalists in Abuja on Wednesday.

Ologunagba stressed that the PDP was positioning itself as a credible alternative to rescue Nigeria from what he called the APC’s misguided policies and propaganda.

He emphasized the APC government’s inability to address critical national challenges, citing rising insecurity and economic hardship.

The PDP scribe disclosed that more than 600 Nigerians have been killed in the last two years, accusing the government of being indifferent to the plight of citizens.

“In two years, over 600 Nigerians have been killed. That’s on record. This government celebrates defection like it’s celebrating successful policy, that’s an indictment,” he said.

The party chieftain also slammed the APC’s economic policies, questioning the rationale behind the $24.5 billion loan request to cushion the effects of subsidy removal.

He argued that the government has failed to deliver tangible results, leaving over 100 million Nigerians to survive on less than $2 a day.

“The president asked for a $24.5 billion loan to cushion the effect of subsidy removal, two years after. Where is the money? We were told subsidy removal would free up funds, where are the results,” he asked.

Speaking on democracy, Ologunagba condemned the alleged preference for a one-party state by the APC, describing it as a threat to Nigeria’s democracy.

He reaffirmed the PDP’s commitment to multi-party democracy and stressed the need for robust opposition and accountability.
