The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says it has
put behind the recent challenges that confronted the leadership adding that its
National Working Committee (NWC) is “firmly in the saddle and very determined
to stabilize and reengineer the party to retake its preeminent place in the
polity.”
The party also said the voluntary resignations
of its National Chairman, Ahmadu Adamu Mu’azu and the Chairman of the Board of
Trustees, Chief Tony Anenih have become the huge sacrifice for the rebuilding
process.
PDP National Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh
in a statement on Saturday said “the National Working Committee appreciates the
concerns, sacrifices and valuable contributions of critical stakeholders during
the trying time” noting that the party “is emerging from its challenges a
stronger and more united front.”
The leadership said “though our party in the
past few weeks has been in the news more for internal challenges than for
preparations for active opposition, effective mechanisms are being put into
place by the NWC to reverse the trend, while leveraging on the new spirit of
accommodation, the confidence and support of critical stakeholders including PDP
governors and legislators-elect, as well as other officials of the party across
board to return the PDP to its winning ways.
“In the course of the campaigns, a lot of
Nigerians became partisan and politically active, the love for various parties
actively aroused passions in attempts to project support for their candidates.
Such passion, drive and zeal have expectedly resulted in a political frenzy
that has kept the citizenry and the society in a permanent election and
campaign mode.
“It is thus the desire of the PDP leadership
that our supporters would channel their energy towards becoming active members
in their various wards, local government areas and states to boost our support
base across board for the task ahead.
“Mistakes have been made, lessons have been
learnt. We must therefore leverage on the new spirit of oneness and our
collective determination to regain preeminence, intensify efforts towards a
speedy rebuilding of our great party while retooling for a forceful, yet highly
credible opposition to regain power at the center.
“We believe that only a peaceful, credible and
constructive opposition can guarantee us seamless path to victory in 2019. To
achieve, this all hands must be on deck.
