The Kaduna State Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, also Chairman of the PDP Chairmen’s Forum of the Northern States and the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Mr Edward Masha, says the party remains strong, united and unbreakable in spite of its challenges.
Masha made this statement on Friday in an interview with DITV, monitored by the News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, in Kaduna.
He dismissed claims that the party was weakening or on the verge of collapse.
He said: “The most formidable, well-structured and people-driven political party in Nigeria and attempts by detractors to cripple the party have failed.
“All efforts to destroy the PDP have woefully failed. Instead of weakening us, they have only made the party stronger, more united and more influential across the country.”
The scribe attributed the party’s resilience to its deep grassroots presence, tested leadership and commitment to democratic values, adding, “the PDP is too deeply rooted in the Nigerian polity to be erased.
“Our structures at the grassroots, combined with our experience in governance, make the party impossible to wish away,” he stated.
Masha said those who plotted the downfall of the PDP had ended up frustrating themselves, as the party remained alive, relevant and competitive nationwide.
He reaffirmed his commitment, alongside other party leaders, to strengthening internal unity and consolidating the party’s gains ahead of future elections.
“We are focused on unity, reconciliation and repositioning the PDP for greater electoral success.
“The party is fully prepared to reclaim its rightful place through the democratic will of the people,” he said.
The PDP chieftain called on party members and supporters to remain steadfast, mobilised and united as the party moves forward.
He, however, expressed confidence that the PDP would emerge stronger ahead of the 2027 general elections, urging Nigerians to continue to support the party’s vision for national development.
