The National Publicity Secretary of the Taminu Turaki-led faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Ini Ememobong, has declared that it would be “immoral and unjust” for the party to endorse President Bola Ahmed Tinubu ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Naija News reports that Ememobong made the assertion on Thursday during an appearance on Arise Television’s ‘Morning Show’, where he spoke on the ongoing reconciliation efforts within the opposition party.
The PDP chieftain insisted that it would be inappropriate for a major opposition party to support the presidential ambition of a ruling party candidate.
“It is improper, it is immoral, it is unjust, it is unfair for an opposition party of the standing of the Peoples Democratic Party to endorse the presidency or the presidential candidature of President Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress,” he said.
Ememobong expressed optimism that the ongoing reconciliation process within the party would be guided by reason rather than sentiment.
According to him, the faction led by Taminu Turaki would push for outcomes that reinforce the PDP’s role as a strong opposition platform.
“So it’s part of the underpinning principle. We are hoping that reason will prevail over emotions,” he added.
He emphasised that the reconciliation process should not weaken the party’s ideological stance or reduce it to what he described as an appendage of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
