In a statement issued on Monday, Felix Morka, APC publicity secretary, said the PDP governors are “projecting their own doomed fate” while attempting to “mislead” Nigerians.
Recall that the PDP governors had met in Zamfara on August 23 and disclosed that the APC is a party without vision or direction, and one that faces imminent rejection in the next general election.
The PDP Governors’ Forum warned Nyesom Wike and others against interfering with the November 15, 2025, national convention in Ibadan, Oyo state capital.
However, Morka, in reaction, said it is “laughable” that leaders of a party in “crisis and decline” would accuse others of lacking an agenda.

Morka said:
“The PDP has since collapsed and stands rejected by Nigerians.”
“Rather than focus on rescuing their terminally ill party, the governors are wasting time hurling baseless accusations against the APC.”
As reported by The Cable, Morka noted that the APC’s victory in the recent by-elections shows that President Bola Tinubu’s policies are resonating with Nigerians.
‘Humble pie’
Speaking further, the spokesperson added that voters supported APC candidates despite violence allegedly sponsored by opposition-controlled states.
Morka noted that the PDP governors should “eat the humble pie” and accept that Nigerians have rejected their party.
“These inept governors are in no position to dictate to Nigerians how to vote in 2027,” he said.

2027: “I’ll run for presidency,” Atiku declares
Meanwhile, Legit.ng reported that amid recent reports that he might opt out of the race, former vice president Atiku Abubakar announced his presidential ambition ahead of the 2027 election.
Weeks after dumping the PDP, the former VP, Atiku, made his intention for the nation's top job known over the weekend through one of his top aides, Tunde Olusunle.
The former VP recently dumped the PDP and adopted the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as a coalition platform aimed at challenging President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2027 elections.
