‘PDP Is Big Enough To Accommodate All Persons Desirous Of Coalition’ – Abba Moro

The Senate Caucus of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has declared that the party is big enough to accommodate everyone desirous of a coalition ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Naijaonpoint reports that the caucus, during a press conference held at the National Assembly on Tuesday, May 20, 2025, led by Senate Minority Leader, Abba Moro, signalled its openness to the idea of a political coalition but insisted that such efforts must be party-driven rather than based on individual ambitions.

The lawmaker said the PDP remains a dominant political force across Nigeria and will bounce back stronger despite the current internal conflicts.

Moro stressed that the internal wrangling within the PDP is not peculiar to the party alone, noting that other political parties, including the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Labour Party (LP), New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), and the Social Democratic Party (SDP), are also grappling with their own internal issues.

He urged members of the PDP nationwide to remain steadfast in their commitment, loyalty, and dedication to the party, stressing that the upcoming activities planned by the party leadership would position PDP as a competitive force in future elections.

Moro further warned against the growing tendency to celebrate the weakening of opposition parties, noting that such a trend threatens democratic governance and tilts the country dangerously towards a one-party system.

He added, “The Senate Caucus of the PDP assures its members and supporters that contrary to insinuations that the party is in shreds and on the verge of collapse, the party will rise up again and wax stronger.

“The beauty of democracy lies in the existence of robust opposition to keep the ruling party in check. The celebration of the emasculation of other parties does not advance the cause of democracy.

“The PDP’s umbrella is big enough to accommodate all persons desirous of a coalition. The PDP should drive the coalition, if and when it becomes necessary.

“The PDP is a big brand. From the current conflicts will emerge a renewed and vibrant party capable of offering Nigerians a viable alternative.”
