The National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Friday vowed to sanction its members endorsing the All Progressives Congress (APC) for re-election in 2027.
The NWC, in a statement issued in Abuja by the National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, warned those involved to retrace their steps or face stiffer sanctions as provided in the PDP Constitution.
Ologunagba said the NWC noted with concern the anti-party activities of certain members of the party particularly those endorsing President Bola Tinubu for re-election in 2027.
The spokesman lamented that such actions and utterances, including the public declaration to work for APC in the 2027 presidential election, violated the party’s constitution.
He warned that such behaviour posed a serious threat to the stability and sustenance of the party.

Ologunagba said: “Specifically, Section 10 (6) of the PDP Constitution provides that ‘NO MEMBER of the Party SHALL align with other Parties or groups to undermine the Party or any of its elected government.
“Such anti-party activities have continued to impact negatively on the PDP leading to division, disaffection and heavy haemorrhaging of members with the capacity to diminish our party’s electoral fortune if not immediately checked.
“In the light of the foregoing and the instance of protecting and preserving the existence of our party and its electoral fortune;
“The NWC, pursuant to the provisions of Section 59 (1) of the PDP Constitution, hereby issues a strong reprimand against such anti-party activities and cautions those involved to retrace their steps or face stiffer sanctions as provided in the PDP Constitution.”
He urged all PDP members to remain loyal, focused, and continue to work assiduously towards the successful conduct of the National Convention slated for November 15 and November 16 in Ibadan, Oyo State.
