PDP Ibadan Convention ‘A political farce, funeral in disguise’ — APC
The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has dismissed the 2026 Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) National Convention held on Saturday in Ibadan as a “political farce” and a symbolic funeral for a party it says is trapped in irreversible decline.
In a strongly worded statement issued on Sunday, the Lagos APC Publicity Secretary, Seye Oladejo, said the gathering—widely advertised by the PDP as a rebirth—turned out to be “a poorly scripted show of confusion and desperation,” further confirming the opposition party’s dwindling relevance.
Oladejo described the convention as an embarrassment to Nigeria’s political class, noting that the PDP’s once-formidable influence has evaporated.
According to him, the absence of several key PDP leaders, including serving governors, spoke volumes.
“Their refusal to attend only underscored what Nigerians have long suspected—that the PDP is terminally ill, surviving on media noise and nostalgic illusions. When a house is collapsing, even its architects flee,” he stated.
