Come and join us,there is room for everybody- PDP begs Nigerians

Five months after losing power to the All Progressives Congress, the national leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party on Wednesday begged Nigerians to join the opposition party.

The party said Nigerians interested in the PDP were free to do so without any condition.

It said that both the new and the old members would be treated equally.

The Acting National Chairman of the party, Prince Uche Secondus, stated this in Abuja on Wednesday.

He spoke during the inauguration of the PDP e-Membership Registration Committee.

The committee is headed by Chief Raymond Dokpesi.

Secondus said with the idea of e-registration becoming a reality, godfatherism would soon become a thing of the past in the party.

He said, “This occasion is significant to us as a party because it is a dream come true.

“You will recall that the idea of having an electronic membership registration for our party has been in the works for so many years…

“I’m appealing to all Nigerians to come and join us. There is room for everybody. Journalists here are also free to join us and become our members.”

He said for the party to succeed in its objective of rebuilding, its leaders must be courageous enough to implement the e-membership registration now.

The acting chairman of the party, which ruled Nigeria for 16 years, said that everybody agreed that this solution was imperative for any organisation that wanted to run efficiently in the IT-driven world.

He said, “We believe that for us to succeed in our objective of rebuilding the party, we must be courageous enough to implement the e-membership registration now.

“Everybody agrees that this solution is imperative for any organisation that wants to run efficiently in the IT driven world we find ourselves.
