As opposition figures rally around the African Democratic Congress (ADC) to challenge President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 elections, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is stepping up efforts to stem the tide of defections. Following the defection of two governors and several lawmakers to the APC, the PDP has issued a stern warning to members against aligning with rival coalitions, especially the ADC. Party leaders are actively engaging stakeholders nationwide, urging them to remain loyal or risk losing their political tickets in future elections.
