The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has criticised the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, for what it described as a “confused and inconsistent” stance on zoning its 2027 presidential ticket.

In a statement issued on Thursday, APC spokesperson, Seye Oladejo, said the PDP’s latest decision to leave its ticket open to all zones after initially zoning it to the South reflects a party in disarray.

He described the move as “a roadmap to nowhere,” insisting it was evidence of the opposition’s lack of focus.

Oladejo argued that the ruling APC’s growing popularity has unsettled the PDP, forcing it into repeated reversals. He accused the opposition of being indecisive and blind to constitutional provisions when it initially shut out some parts of the country from contesting.

“The truth is simple: the larger-than-life image of the APC under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has so overwhelmed the PDP that it no longer knows whether to go left, right, or in circles,” Oladejo said.

He further stressed that Nigerians were more concerned with APC’s reform agenda and delivery of democratic dividends than a party “still trying to figure out its identity.”

The APC spokesman dismissed the PDP’s open-ticket policy as a sign of weakness rather than inclusion. According to him, the move betrays internal crises, power struggles, and the party’s inability to learn from past mistakes.

“PDP has turned into a political gambling house where desperate politicians are invited to test their luck,” Oladejo remarked, recalling how the party’s zoning crisis in 2023 triggered defections, rancour, and what he called electoral humiliation.

Oladejo added that while the opposition flounders, the APC remains focused on governance, reforms, and securing Nigeria’s future.
“For the PDP, the 2027 election is already lost, not at the ballot box, but in the circus tent they now call their party,” he concluded.
