The People Democratic Party’s (PDP) Governors’ Forum has made a bold declaration, vowing to reclaim all leadership positions currently held by other political parties.
News About Nigeria reports that this pledge was made by the Chairman of the PDP Governors Forum, Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State, during the opening of the forum’s meeting on Wednesday at the Government House in Enugu.
According to Governor Mohammed, this meeting is a historic and ambitious milestone for the party, as they gather in Enugu to make a significant impact and demonstrate their unwavering dedication to the party’s success.
The forum’s determination to reclaim leadership positions is a testament to their unrelenting commitment to advancing the party’s interests and securing victory in future elections.
“Today we are here to unify ourselves, discuss issues that affect the party and various matters within ourselves,” he said.
“Our agenda will go through governance across party administration, discuss the inter-party affairs, congress and other things we need to do in providing a credible alternative to Nigerians.”
He revealed that the meeting involved PDP governors and other party stakeholders including the national working committee and various organs of the party.
The governor added that their assessment had shown at the national level that the country was driving toward anarchy, stressing that, “We will not allow that because we share history, we share aspiration for Nigerians.
“It is high time the party reclaimed its leadership position in all the states that are currently being occupied by other parties,” he said.
Mohammed commended Gov. Peter Mbah for hosting the meeting and for taking care of them since they arrived on Tuesday.
