The PDP Governors Forum unequivocally denies backing a Nasir El-Rufai/Peter Obi presidential ticket for 2027, affirming its commitment to support the rightful PDP nominee while championing democratic values and progress for all Nigerians.
The Peoples Democratic Party Governors Forum has made a resounding statement that its members are not working for any ticket involving ex-Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai or ex-Anambra State Governor Peter Obi for the 2027 presidential election. In a clear and forceful declaration, the Forum, which is led by Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed, reiterated that the PDP governors will support whichever aspirant emerges victorious in the PDP’s internal primary. This announcement comes in direct response to unverified reports circulating on various media platforms that claimed five PDP Governors were backing a ticket that would see the union of Nasir El-Rufai and Peter Obi. The Forum’s Director General, Emmanuel Agbo, issued the statement on Saturday to quell these rumors and to emphasize that the party remains united and steadfast in its commitment to a fair and inclusive nomination process.
“PDP Governors Forum Portrays Unity”
Agbo explained that the rumor appears to be intent on undermining the leadership of the PDP by peddling rumors that not only misrepresent the facts but also risk dividing the party’s coherent structure at a time when it is needed most.
The Forum’s resolute response highlights its broader vision for the party. According to the statement, the PDP governors are committed to supporting any candidate who wins the party’s ticket, a decision that reflects the leadership’s belief in a fair and transparent electoral process. This approach is not about elevating any individual over the party’s collective interest but rather about safeguarding the democratic process. The PDP Governors Forum made it clear that its support is not pre-determined by personal alliances or backdoor negotiations but is instead rooted in the principles of equity and accountability. By distancing itself from the alleged alignment with Nasir El-Rufai and Peter Obi, the Forum is reinforcing that all political maneuvers should benefit the Nigerian people rather than serve narrow interests.

The strong language used in the statement reveals a deep-seated frustration with those who have resorted to stirring division within the party. The Forum’s leadership criticized these “mischief makers and detractors” who are, in their view, unable to acknowledge the successful governance and economic initiatives undertaken by the PDP governors across various states. Despite facing immense challenges, including the pressures exerted by the ruling All Progressives Congress, the PDP Governors Forum continues to push forward with reforms aimed at alleviating poverty and reducing financial hardships that affect many Nigerians—even in the most remote areas. The statement underscored the Governors Forum’s belief that the party should be united in its mission to uplift the lives of ordinary citizens rather than succumbing to partisan bickering and divisive tactics.
The narrative laid out by the Forum is not only a rebuttal of recent media claims but also a broader statement of political intent. It is an insistence on the importance of transparency and unity within the PDP. The leadership, as articulated by Agbo, condemned the rumors and the “provocative publications” that attempt to create a false narrative of internal discord. By stressing that the PDP Governors Forum stands for principles such as social justice, accountability, and the sanctity of the electoral process, the statement positions the group as a bulwark against those who might otherwise try to manipulate party structures for their own gain. In doing so, the Forum is also sending a strong message to the electorate—that they should not be misled by unfounded speculations or the machinations of political opportunists.
This firm stance by the PDP Governors Forum is critical at a time when political divisions are increasingly being exploited by those who have failed to deliver on promises of economic progress. The Forum’s leaders are acutely aware of the challenges facing Nigeria, and they stress that the party’s efforts should remain focused on fostering reconciliation, strengthening progress at the subnational level, and ultimately improving the lives of Nigerians. The emphasis is on building a strong, inclusive political platform that will not only contest power effectively against underperforming central government authorities but also bring about a transformative change that resonates with the needs of the people.
Throughout the lengthy statement, the recurring message is one of unity and discipline. The PDP Governors Forum reiterates that in 2027, the party will rally behind the candidate who is truly reflective of its values and capable of challenging the status quo. The Forum’s leaders reject any notion that internal factions or covert alliances should dictate the party’s direction. Instead, they call for an open, democratic process that allows every member the chance to contribute towards selecting the best candidate for the nation. In this way, the PDP Governors Forum not only disassociates itself from the baseless rumors linking it to a potential Nasir El-Rufai/Peter Obi ticket but also reaffirms its commitment to a process that is both inclusive and forward-looking.
