The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has accused the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led Federal Government of managing Nigeria with alarming recklessness, as stated in a message on their verified X account. This statement comes in response to a scandal involving Femi Gbajabiamila, the Chief of Staff to President Bola Tinubu, and the Director General of the Presidential office.

Nigeria's Minister of State for the Federal Capital Territory, Mariya Mahmud, has said President Bola Tinubu will hand over power to an All Progressives Congress successor in 2031, insisting the ruling party will govern beyond that year. Speaking at the launch of the City Boy Movement in Kano on Monday, Mahmud told participants there was "no vacancy in the Villa till 2031," according to the Daily Trust report.

Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, has cautioned the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) against depending on luck as they prepare for the 2027 elections. He emphasized that power must be actively seized rather than passively awaited, urging party members to take decisive action in their political strategies.

Prince Adewole Adebayo, presidential candidate of Nigeria's Social Democratic Party (SDP), has said that four years is enough for a determined government to transform the country, urging voters to reject what he described as the nation's prevailing politics. According to Vanguard, Adebayo blamed elites in the Presidential Villa and government houses for Nigeria's problems and challenged President Bola Tinubu to a public debate. He made the remarks in Abuja, as reported by Henry Umoru.

Godswill Akpabio, the President of the Senate, referred to Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, as the National Leader of the winning faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). This statement was made on Friday, as Akpabio urged Nigerians to disregard Wike's claim of being an exceptional performer during his tenure as governor.

Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, addressed members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on June 24, 2026, emphasizing the need for a vigorous political struggle ahead of the 2027 general elections. He asserted that political power is not easily granted and requires significant effort, sacrifice, and dedication to achieve.
