The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos State has mocked the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), describing its remaining members as “undertakers waiting to bury a dying party.”
The party’s Publicity Secretary, Mr. Seye Oladejo, made the remark in a statement on Saturday while reacting to the latest wave of defections from the PDP to the ruling party.
Oladejo said the PDP was deluding itself by dismissing what he called a mass exodus from its fold, insisting that the opposition party was only witnessing the collapse of a structure already weakened by years of deceit and internal crisis.
“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.
He maintained that the ongoing defections were clear evidence that even loyal members had lost faith in the party, which, according to him, had failed to reform or provide Nigerians with a credible alternative. “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.
Oladejo accused the PDP of mismanaging Nigeria during its 16 years in power and said it lacked the moral and political strength to play the role of a viable opposition. He said the defection of key figures to the APC showed growing confidence in President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
“The defections are not just political victories for the APC; they are clear endorsements of our commitment to progress, stability, and people-centred leadership. Nigerians are speaking loudly, the era of deceitful opposition politics is over,” Oladejo added.
