The All Progressives Congress (APC) has declared that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has collapsed politically, pointing to the results of the recently concluded bye-elections as evidence of the public’s growing rejection of the opposition party.
In a strongly worded statement issued on Monday, APC’s National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, said the outcome of the bye-elections reflected the popularity of President Bola Tinubu’s policies among Nigerians.
“The PDP has since fallen into ruins, and stands rejected by Nigerians,” Morka said. “When its governors gather in their scanty numbers, one would expect them to have some shame and concentrate on how to resuscitate their terminally ailing party.”
According to Morka, rather than focus on internal reform, the PDP leadership has continued to make what he described as “frivolous and senseless allegations” against the ruling APC.
He noted that the APC’s strong showing in the bye-elections served as a clear endorsement of President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope agenda and a demonstration of voters’ confidence in the ruling party.

“It is infantile and irresponsible for PDP governors to hail democracy where they won and decry democracy where they lost,” he added.
Morka further stated that the electoral process cannot be judged by the PDP’s performance alone, asserting that the credibility of Nigeria’s democracy must be measured more broadly.
The APC’s comments come in the wake of several hotly contested bye-elections across the country, where the ruling party claimed significant victories.
