The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has warned Nigerians against re-electing President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2027 general elections, describing him as "a bad market" and unworthy of a second term.

“The PDP is the only party that can unseat the APC. We have the support, the base, and a national spread. There is no community without PDP members, because it is truly the people’s party. Nigerians are eager for the PDP’s return," Ologunagba said.
No patriotic Nigerian will vote Tinubu in 2027, PDP insists
Ologunagba pointed to what he described as the APC's "numerous failures," arguing that Nigerians have had enough of hardship and will not support Tinubu for a second term, Punch reported.
“It is clear that President Bola Tinubu is a bad market. So, no one, whether individual or group, who is experiencing what we’re all going through will vote for Tinubu. Tinubu is a bad market and a one-term President,” he added firmly.
PDP dismisses defections and opposition coalitions
Responding to recent defections from the PDP to the APC and the emergence of a new political coalition under the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Ologunagba dismissed concerns over the strength of the party.
“Our party is organic and formidable. It is important to make it clear that the people who make up the party are not defecting
“They are not defecting because of hunger or insecurity. The people who form the bulk of our party, as well as Nigerians who are apolitical, look up to the PDP. So, they are not defecting," he explained.

The party’s spokesperson maintained that the PDP’s structure remains intact and spread across all regions, giving it a natural advantage ahead of 2027.
“The PDP has never lost its place in the hearts of Nigerians. Our presence in every community is a testament to our resilience and connection to the grassroots,” Ologunagba said.
The party urged Nigerians to remain hopeful and prepare for a return to “better leadership” under the PDP, promising renewed focus on national development and citizens’ welfare, Vanguard reported.
Tinubu not a ‘bad market’, Analyst slams PDP
Political analyst Hassan Dotun has taken a swipe at the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) over its recent remarks describing President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as "a bad market" ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Speaking with Legit.ng on Sunday, July 27, Dotun said the PDP’s statement reflects desperation rather than strategic opposition politics.
“Labelling the sitting President as a ‘bad market’ is not only undignified but shows the PDP’s lack of a constructive agenda. Nigerians are tired of insults; they want credible alternatives and issue-based campaigns," Dotun stated.
Dotun argued that while the electorate has the right to critique policies, opposition parties must present tangible policy alternatives rather than resorting to “marketplace name-calling.”
“The PDP must rise above petty rhetoric if it truly wants to be taken seriously in 2027,” he added.

He reiterated his commitment to the service of the people and disclosed that discussions and consultations were ongoing regarding his next political move.
