The PDP chieftain claimed that Tinubu’s actions were an attempt to create a one-party system that would suppress dissent and alternative political voices.

“Tinubu’s goal is to cripple every opposition party and ensure he remains in power beyond 2027, but unfortunately, this grand ambition will fail.
"The PDP will soon flush out all Tinubu-aligned elements like Wike, Fayose, and others who have been planted to destabilize the party from within,” Orduen stated.

Orduen says PDP poised to take decisive action against saboteurs

Orduen's remarks come amid growing tensions within the PDP, as he alleged that certain members have been acting against the party's interests.

He assured party members and supporters that those sabotaging the PDP's efforts would face consequences.

“Every anti-party actor working against the PDP’s interests will be dealt with decisively—their time is up. We will not allow anyone to undermine the party’s mission,” he declared.

Furthermore, Orduen also stressed the importance of maintaining a competitive political landscape in Nigeria, insisting that true democracy thrives on accountability and multiple voices.

He argued that any attempts to silence opposition will ultimately fail, reinforcing the party’s resolve to uphold democratic values.

“Nigerians are watching closely, and any attempt to hijack the political space and silence opposition voices will not succeed. Democracy thrives on competition and accountability, not manipulation and suppression,” he asserted.
