The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has in strong rejected comments made by former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir Lawal.

It dismissed his critique of the party as ‘misguided, politically bitter, and irrelevant.’

The PDP stated that it neither seeks nor requires Lawal’s validation to shape its future or Nigeria’s political direction.

This came on Wednesday in Abuja, where the Acting National Chairman, Umar Damagum, through his Special Assistant on Media and Communications, Yusuf Dingyadi, addressed Lawal’s remarks.

DAILY POST reports that during an appearance on Arise Television’s ‘The Morning Show’, Lawal had described the PDP as having an ‘incurable virus’ and declared it a no-go area for any opposition coalition ahead of the 2027 general elections.

In a rebuttal, the PDP said, “While Mr. Lawal is entitled to his personal opinions, we wish to make it categorically clear that the PDP does not seek, nor is it begging, for his or validation in shaping the future of our party or the political direction of this country.”

The opposition party stressed its status as Nigeria’s most experienced, nationally rooted and enduring political party, capable of weathering storms and rescuing the country from the failings of the current istration.

The party equally questioned Lawal’s political relevance, noting that his tenure in public office is ed more for controversies than for impactful contributions.

“The same cannot be said of Mr. Babachir Lawal, whose tenure in public office is ed more for controversies than for impact.

“Rather than being an asset, his political antecedents portray him more as a liability to any serious political project,” Damagum said.

The PDP reaffirmed its focus on rebuilding, reuniting and repositioning itself for victory in 2027, emphasizing its openness to constructive alliances based on shared values and institutional integrity.

It dismissed Lawal’s comments as a desperate attempt to remain relevant in national discourse and urged its , ers, and the general public to ignore them.

The party reiterated its commitment to restoring hope, rebuilding the nation, and reclaiming leadership for the benefit of all Nigerians.
