The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has threatened to sanction its members that are declaring support for President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 presidential poll.
The PDP, in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, on Friday, said endorsement for President Tinubu by some of its members is a violation of the opposition party’s constitution.
In the run-up to the 2027 polls, some leaders of the PDP, and its Osun State chapter, have openly declared support for the re-election of President Tinubu, who is of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the next presidential election.

The PDP, while stating that such anti-party activities were impacting negatively on the opposition party, cautioned those concerned to turn a new leaf or face sanctions in line with its constitution. The statement reads in part: “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, dis-affection and heavy haemorrhaging of members with the capacity to diminish our party’s electoral fortune if not immediately checked.”
