Nigerians Are With Opposition Parties Despite Defection – PDP

PDP

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has said that Nigerians are not following politicians defecting to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). The party’s factional National Publicity Secretary, Comrade Ini Ememobong, recently had his say while briefing journalists on the interim results of the PDP’s digital membership registration.

According to him, the ongoing digital registration exercise, which has already captured over 4.2 million members, shows that public support has not moved.

He added that millions of citizens still stand with the opposition despite the shifting political landscape.

His words, “Data on our portal indicates that our Ward Registration Agents, as at midnight of March 31, 2026, recorded a total of 4,264,675 members.

This digital membership registration has shown clearly that the politicians are defecting, not the electorate.

This is clearly indicative of the acceptance of the party at all age levels, with young people outnumbering other age groups.

They are dissatisfied with the current maladministration of the Tinubu APC-led Federal Government, where killings and insecurity have become the new normal for Nigerians.

More painful is the fact that the President’s release on that issue came out more than 24 hours after the mass killings, whereas if it were a political matter, he would have expeditiously handled it.

The PDP is an opposition party and cannot and will not become an appendage of, or subservient to, the APC.

We urge all members of our party to ensure that they are properly registered on this new digital membership platform.

This show of confidence by these millions of Nigerians places on us, the leadership, a concomitant responsibility to protect and safeguard their future.

For the PDP, the real battle will be decided by voters, not defections.

This shall not happen; neither shall it come to pass.”

WOW.
