The Lagos State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has dismissed reports claiming it endorsed President Bola Tinubu and his administration ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Eko Hot Blog reports that in a statement issued on Tuesday by its Publicity Secretary, Christopher Odianarewo, the party described the alleged endorsement as false and urged Nigerians to disregard the report.

According to the party, President Tinubu is not a member of the PDP, stressing that it has neither endorsed him nor the policies of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
The Lagos PDP also questioned the authenticity of the circulated statement, noting that it carried no identifiable author, official party insignia, signature or authorisation from any recognised organ of the party.
The chapter alleged that the publication was deliberately crafted to mislead the public and create confusion within the party.
Reaffirming its position, the Lagos PDP said it recognises the Interim National Working Committee (INWC), led by Dr. Tanimu Turaki (SAN), and the party’s Board of Trustees, chaired by Senator Adolphus Wabara, as its legitimate leadership.
The party reiterated its commitment to the rule of law, due process and democratic principles, adding that it would continue to resist any attempt to undermine its unity and integrity.
It also urged party members, stakeholders, the media and the general public to disregard the purported endorsement and remain vigilant against misinformation.
The Lagos PDP maintained that it remains committed to offering Nigerians what it described as a credible political alternative ahead of future elections.
