In a statement on Sunday, APC Publicity Secretary Seye Oladejo described the PDP event as a poorly scripted display of confusion and desperation, marking a new low for a party once considered invincible.
Oladejo criticised the absence of notable PDP figures, including incumbent governors, saying their boycott reflected a party in terminal decline. He added that delegates from 13 states largely stayed away, further demonstrating PDP’s internal collapse.
He also faulted the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for refusing to monitor the convention, saying it stripped the gathering of legitimacy, relevance, and meaning.
“When a house is collapsing, even its architects flee,” Oladejo said, adding that the PDP’s event resembled a valedictory service rather than a convention, highlighting leadership rot and ideological emptiness.

According to Lagos APC, the PDP has become a danger to Nigeria’s democracy, failing to provide vibrant opposition or accountability, and now survives only as a refuge for defectors and political opportunists.
Oladejo warned that the party’s internal disarray had already written the preface to its political obituary, while APC continues to consolidate reforms and deliver governance under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
“As the dust settles, Nigerians have made their choice — progress under APC, not nostalgia under a PDP drifting toward oblivion,” he added.
