The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Tuesday called on Nigerians to rise against a one-party state.

The party made the call in a statement as it prepares for its National convention in August in Kano.

According to the statement, the event will serve as a pivotal moment to elect new national officers, strengthen internal democracy, and reposition the PDP as a formidable force to rescue Nigeria from the grip of the failed All Progressives Congress (APC), ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The statement added that the National Convention will prioritize merit, transparency, and inclusivity in electing leaders capable of confronting the APC’s misrule.

It charged that Nigerians reject the APC’s anti-people policies and join the PDP in building a united front to reclaim Nigeria’s future.

The statement also noted that the August 2025 National Convention will lay the foundation for a reinvigorated PDP, ready to lead the charge for a Nigeria where every citizen thrives.

It, therefore, urged party members, other critical stakeholders, and patriotic Nigerians to rally behind the PDP as it prepares to elect leaders who will champion the aspirations of the Nigerian people.

“Nigerians must therefore rise to resist the APC’s sinister plot to transform Nigeria into a one-party totalitarian state.

“The Tinubu-led administration’s economic policies have inflicted unprecedented hardship, with rising poverty, insecurity, and wanton killings plaguing the nation.

“The APC’s desperate attempts to stifle opposition voices through sponsorship of crisis within political parties, threats, intimidation, and attacks on democratic institutions reveal their fear of imminent defeat in 2027.

“The PDP as a party that stands for the rule of law, and the supremacy of the will of the people is gearing up to restore democratic principles in 2027.

“Together, we will defeat the APC’s authoritarian agenda and restore Nigeria to the path of progress, security, and economic stability.” the statement reads
