The Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Governors’ Forum, Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed, has vowed that the party’s convention, slated for November 15 and 16, will hold irrespective of external forces.
Speaking during the inauguration of the PDP National Convention Publicity and Communication Sub Committee on Saturday in Abuja, the governor reaffirmed the party’s readiness to go ahead with the convention as planned.
He asserted that the PDP remains united, resilient, and determined to emerge stronger ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The Bauchi State Governor urged party leaders to step up efforts to redefine the narrative, stressing that both party members and Nigerians in general have been enduring widespread hardship.
He stated, “We have to really change the narrative. This is a party to be. We have been suffering a lot as a party.
“But we have been withering the storm, and we will continue to wither the storm. This convention is here to stay. We are going to Ibadan by the grace of God.
“By the grace of God, no Jupiter will stop us. No dark forces will succeed over us. The dark forces, if they succeed over PDP, they have succeeded over Nigeria.
“We have to change governance. We have to change the style of this country, and this is the beginning. This is the time to do it. We have never suffered as a country as we are suffering today under the APC.
“You have seen what is happening. We don’t have to go into deep melancholy and be crying as whipping boys or girls.
“We have to do something within the democratic space to change the leader, to change the nation. I was listening to one song when I came in; it was enumerating some of the achievements of the PDP.
“Since we left office, nobody took over. It was as if there was a vacuum a void in terms of delivery of democratic dividends.”
He appealed to members of the committee to put in dedicated effort toward enlightening and sensitising Nigerians.
