The Chairman of the Kogi State Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Muhammed Gambo, has announced his party’s readiness to reclaim Lugard House in the 2027 elections.
In a statement issued on Friday in Lokoja, Gambo likened the All Progressives Congress, APC, to “people living in a rented apartment” and predicted a decisive victory for the PDP in a free and fair election.
“All Progressives Congress’s time is up. The people of Kogi should remain loyal to the PDP, which has strong party structures and a proven record of progress in the state,” the statement partly read.
He called for peace, adherence to the law, and collaboration on security matters, emphasizing that “Kogi is a PDP state.”
Gambo also expressed confidence that the PDP is actively strengthening its structures nationwide, with aspirations that extend to Aso Rock.
“In a free and fair election, the PDP will win by a landslide. Our structures are strong both in Kogi and across Nigeria,” he said, recalling the party’s past governance as a period of prosperity.
He added, “The time has come for the APC government to vacate Lugard House in 2027.”
“This is a call for no retreat, no surrender.” Gambo urged citizens to remain committed to the PDP, support security efforts, and stay peaceful and law-abiding.
“It is unfortunate that insecurity has become a challenge, but as a party, we are ready to collaborate with the government on security, because a state must exist before any political party,” he stated.
Concluding with optimism, Gambo reiterated that the PDP would reclaim Lugard House in 2027, emphasizing that Kogi State has remained a PDP stronghold since 1999.
