The National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has warned its members against the endorsement of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for re-election in 2027.
The warning was disclosed via a statement issued by the PDP National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, on Friday, August 7, 2025.
Some PDP members, including former Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose and the Osun State chapter of the party, among others, recently endorsed Tinubu for a second term in office.
The opposition party, however, described the endorsements ahead of the 2027 general election as anti-party activities, saying the actions violated the party’s constitution.
Ologunagba stated: “Of serious concern is the persistent public media outbursts against our Party by some prominent members whose actions and utterances including their public declaration of support and willingness to work for the victory of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 Presidential election in violation of the provision of the PDP Constitution (as amended in 2017) constitute a serious threat to the stability and sustenance of our Party.

“Specifically, Section 10 (6) of the PDP Constitution provides that “NO MEMBER of the Party SHALL align with other Parties or groups to undermine the Party or any of its elected government”.
“Such anti-party activities have continued to impact negatively on the PDP leading to division, disaffection and heavy hemorrhaging of members with the capacity to diminish our Party’s electoral fortune if not immediately checked.
“In the light of the foregoing and the instancy of protecting and preserving the existence of our Party and its electoral fortune, the NWC, pursuant to the provisions of Section 59 (1) of the PDP Constitution hereby issues a strong reprimand against such anti-party activities and cautions those involved to retrace their steps or face stiffer sanctions as provided in the PDP Constitution.”
Ologunagba further quoted the NWC as charging all PDP members to “remain loyal, focused and continue to work assiduously towards the successful conduct” of the party’s national convention scheduled to hold on November 15 and 16, 2025, in Ibadan, the capital of Oyo State.
