The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has reassured that its repositioned
and rebranded platform remains the best political vehicle to return
Nigeria to the path of good governance and national unity.
The party said it has been aggregating opinions of its members and
Nigerians at large on the way forward and has since perfected a level
playing ground as no individual or group can claim ownership or control
of the party under its present leadership.
PDP National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, in a statement on
Tuesday, said the fears expressed by one of the party leaders and a
former minister, Elder Godsday Orubebe, was rather misplaced as the
issues contemplated in his open letter are no longer obtainable in the
repositioned PDP.
It is also obvious to all, that our great party, under the leadership of
Prince Uche Secondus, has since been thrown open to all Nigerians for
equal and unhindered participation, a development that has led to the
renewed interest of Nigerians on our platform as the only true vehicle
to return the nation to good governance.
Furthermore, we have already moved forward by inviting members who had
left the party and the responses, which we have received so far, have
been very encouraging. Not just that, our party is also receiving new
members from other political parties and we will soon commence an online
registration to capture the old, new and returning members with equal
rights, opportunities and privileges.
It is imperative to inform that with the proposed membership drive
through the online registration, it is certain that the party is being
returned to the people, whose financial contributions would make them
the true owners of the PDP.
As a political party, with mass support of Nigerians and representing
all interests across the six geo-political zones, the 36 states of the
federation and the FCT, our new leadership has succeeded in bringing all
our members on board and we are working together now, more than ever
before, to rescue our nation from the misrule of the dysfunctional All
Progressives Congress (APC).
We therefore urge all our members to continue to propagate the ideals of
our party and engage only in activities that promote unity and the
tenets of democracy in line with the vision of our founding fathers and
the overall interest of our dear nation.
Today, Nigerians across board are waiting on the PDP to navigate our
collective quest for a return to good governance, national cohesion and
economic prosperity and we cannot afford to disappoint them.
