The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Imo State chapter, has categorically stated that it is not in any way linked or involved in coalition talk with any political party.
The statement was coming following a rumour alleging that the party is seriously involved in a coalition move with other political parties.
In a press statement issued by the State chairman of the party, Austine Nwachukwu, he strongly denied such rumour, describing it as a false claim and malicious attempt aimed at destabilizing the party.
The PDP State chairman warned members of the party and the general public to disregard the narrative, which he noted was being peddled by disgruntled former members who now regret leaving the party.
“These baseless claims are the handiwork of failed politicians driven by selfish interests and personal gain.
“There is no coalition whatsoever. PDP remains committed to its values and principles, and will resist any attempt to undermine its integrity,” he stated.
Nwachukwu alleged that intelligence reports revealed that some individuals were attempting to divide the party and weaken its strength, especially in the State.
He asserted that the party leadership in the State reaffirmed its total commitment to internal unity and warned against any coalition that supports a power shift to the North, which he described as a betrayal of the PDP’s long-standing tradition of power rotation.
The PDP State chairman added that the party was open to welcoming new members and maintained that it would not be part of any political arrangement that compromised the party’s core principles.
He used the medium to urge party members across the State to remain vigilant, ignore the false narratives and stay committed to ensuring the PDP’s victory in the 2027 general elections.
“Together, we will ensure that PDP remains the dominant force in Imo State and Nigeria in general,” the statement concluded.
