The Lagos state chapter of the All Progressives Congress(APC)in has openly mocked the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP), describing its remaining party faithfuls as “undertakers waiting to bury a dying party.”
In response to a new wave of PDP defections to the ruling party, Mr. Seye Oladejo, the Publicity Secretary of the APC in Lagos, made the declaration on Saturday.
Oladejo warned that the opposition party was simply fooling itself by downplaying the extent of its internal collapse and asked the PDP to cease discounting what he called “a mass exodus” from its ranks.

“The PDP’s claim that defections cannot weaken it is laughable and exposes the party’s chronic state of denial, delusion, and self-deception,” Oladejo said.
“What we are witnessing is not ordinary political migration but the inevitable outcome of years of deceit, lack of ideology, and betrayal among its own leaders. When a house is built on quicksand, it only takes a tremor to bring it down.”
The continuous defections, according to the APC spokesperson, were evidence that even devoted PDP members had lost faith in a party that had “refused to reform or present a credible alternative to Nigerians.”

Oladejo stated that the opposition party has depended on lies and hollow promises for years, therefore the APC was not shocked by the defections.
He claimed that the PDP had mismanaged the nation during its 16-year control and that “when it remains mired in confusion and leadership crises, it cannot suddenly reinvent itself as a credible opposition.”
“Those still clinging to the PDP are merely undertakers, staying behind to perform the final rites and dispose of what remains of a once-dominant but now lifeless political entity,” he added.
“The recent defection of key PDP figures to the APC reflects growing confidence in President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda,” Oladejo stated.

“It’s time for the PDP to learn to walk alone on its long, dark road to 2027. The party’s glory days are gone, and the sooner it accepts that reality, the less humiliating its final exit will be.”
He urged the opposition to acknowledge that its power in Nigerian politics had significantly diminished and to do an honest post-mortem of its mistakes.
