The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has said it has more supporters and followers than any other political party to claim the position of Nigeria’s leading opposition party to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Addressing reporters yesterday at the party’s national secretariat at Wadata Plaza in Wuse, Abuja, PDP’s spokesman, Mr. Debo Ologunagba, described the party as the most pro-people among the nation’s leading political parties.
He said other parties claiming to be “congresses” only cater for elite members’ interests.
Ologunagba announced that all members of the PDP’s National Executive Committee (NEC) and various party organs, including the PDP Governors’ Forum, the National Working Committee (NWC), and others, would participate in the party’s NEC meeting scheduled to hold tomorrow till Friday, July 25.
The PDP spokesman said the party’s improved strength would soon become obvious to Nigerians.
He said the gale of defections from the PDP and Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister Nyesom Wike’s vow to mobilise for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in 2027 are not potent threats to the party.
Ologunagba stressed that the party would not be bothered by what a few individuals chose to do.
“Of course, we are concerned that some people left. We won’t play the ostrich, but the strength of this party is not in individuals. That’s why it is Peoples Democratic Party, and that is why it’s not a congress.
“The PDP is not a congress. Our political party belongs to the people; a ‘congress’ thinks about itself and its elite interests. But a political party like the PDP thinks about the people,” he said.
Ologunagba also spoke about PDP’s efforts to reposition for the tasks ahead.
“The PDP is now recalibrating and, in the next few days, you will see all the party organs coming out with strength as we conduct another NEC meeting this week. So, we are working on our repositioning; we are working upon what we achieved in the past. That is something to reflect upon,” he said.
