The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Umar Damagum, has reiterated the party’s focus on navigating the country’s current challenges.
He recently revealed that PDP must be seen as a credible alternative for Nigerians in 2027.
Speaking at the PDP’s 102nd National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting on Monday in Abuja, Damagum shared that Nigerians have not stopped seeing the PDP as the leading opposition party despite its recent division.
According to him, PDP remains the only viable platform capable of restoring hope, equity, and justice to the nation.
He stated that PDP has consistently displayed internal democracy throughout its struggles, and that will not stop anytime soon.
“The renewed confidence in the PDP is a clear reminder of the responsibility we carry.
From one convention to another, our party has consistently demonstrated internal democracy, inclusivity, and respect for collective decision-making, values that remain our guiding principles,” he said.
Also speaking at the meeting, Gov. Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State and Chairman of the PDP Governors’ Forum expressed optimism that the PDP will keep repositioning itself to provide Nigerians a level playing field in 2027.
He concluded by saying that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has retained its status as a party with the capacity to lead.
“We are working diligently to make the PDP the party of choice for Nigerians, a party known for unity and proven capacity to lead.
In spite of internal and external challenges, we are managing the situation carefully and collectively to ensure a smooth path toward the convention,” he added.
