The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has disowned an X handle, “PDP 2027 @PDP Government,’’ claiming to be an account for support pages for news, history, heritage, and administration of the party.

The party made the clarification in a statement by the National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, in Abuja on Thursday.

Ologunagba said the social media handle was not the official or affiliate X handle of the PDP, nor was it an approved source of information for the party and its activities.

He said that it had come to the knowledge of the PDP that the account was being used by the handlers to express opinions and views that were not those of the party.

“The PDP states in clear terms that the X account going by the name of “PDP 2027 @PDP Government” is not the official or affiliate X handle of the PDP.

“Nor any of its accredited wings, nor is it an approved source of information about the party and its activities.

“Although the PDP appreciates the interest of Nigerians in our party, it is imperative to state that the PDP has not approved any organisation or support group to create social media handles.

“As such, any view, opinion, or content whatsoever contained or disseminated on the X account going by the name of “PDP 2027 @PDP Government” does not represent that of the PDP,’’ he said.

Ologunagba urged Nigerians to follow the official PDP social media handles (@OfficialPDPNig) for official and authentic information on the activities of the party, including its policies, views, and opinions.

He said the Facebook page for the party, Official Peoples Democratic Party PDP (Nigeria), or visit our website: peoplesdemocraticparty.com.ng or peoplesdemocraticparty.org.ng.

Ologunagba appreciated Nigerians for their unwavering support and solidarity with the PDP.
