.As 7 A/Ibom PDP Reps defect to APC
CYRIL MBAH, Abuja
The National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has stated that it will spend the remaining part of this year uniting members of the party and planning how to host a national convention rather than dissipate energy and time on the controversial coalition of opposition parties.
In a statement issued on Thursday and signed by the National Publicity Secretary of the party, Hon. Debo Ologunagba, the PDP said it has not taken any official position on the coalition fever because members have concentrated more on efforts to salvage the party by focusing on unity and how to organise a successful national convention.
The party frowned against “misrepresenting reports in sections of the social media” claiming that the PDP had directed its members to join the coalition group.
According to the statement, it has become necessary to state in clear terms, for the avoidance of doubt that the PDP has not taken any official position on the issue of coalition.
“The PDP is for now focused on building and consolidating on attaining unity, stability and strengthening its structures and capacity to play its role as the leading opposition party, determined to return to power in 2027.
“Our Party is currently working hard and conscientiously towards a successful National Convention, which will further revamp and reposition the PDP for the task ahead.
“Nevertheless, as a major opposition Party with very strong presence and bond with Nigerians across the country, the PDP restates that it remains open to working with other well-meaning like-minded citizens in the collective effort to rescue our nation from the stranglehold of the rudderless and insensitive All Progressives Congress (APC)-led administration.
“Our Party appreciates Nigerians for their interest, solidarity and loyalty to the PDP brand and reassures that all machineries are being put in place to re-activate the PDP winning ways ahead of the 2027 general elections.”
