The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has expressed confidence that Nigerians will vote out the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), just as Ghana’s ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) was defeated in the recent presidential election.
According to reports, Ghana’s Electoral Commission announced on Monday evening that John Mahama had won the presidential election held on Saturday.
Mahama, a former president (2012–2017) and candidate of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), defeated the incumbent Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia of the NPP. Mahama secured 6.3 million votes, representing 56.5% of the total votes cast.
In a statement, PDP spokesperson Debo Ologunagba described Mahama’s victory as a resounding testament to the power of the people overcoming misrule and oppressive governance.
He drew parallels between the situation in Ghana and Nigeria, criticizing the APC for economic policies he said had plunged many Nigerians into poverty.
“The verdict of the people of Ghana in this presidential election is a signal to the APC that its days in office are numbered, as the power of the people in Nigeria, just like in Ghana, will surely prevail, end the APC’s oppressive rule, and return Nigeria to the path of good governance, security, political stability, and economic prosperity on the platform of the PDP in 2027.

“Also unacceptable to Nigerians is that our once-thriving nation, which ranked as a preferred destination for international foreign investment capital and one of the world’s fastest-growing economies under the PDP, has been brought to its knees by the APC with decayed infrastructure, a comatose economy, worsening insecurity, and social uncertainties occasioned by ill-conceived and ill-implemented macroeconomic policies.
“More distressing is that while Nigerians are subjected to harrowing hardship, APC leaders remain unconcerned and unaccountable, imposing harsh taxes and recklessly looting the nation’s treasury to finance their luxury appetites and consumption while arrogantly treating Nigerians as though they are a conquered people,” he said.
