Southeast PDP Chairman, Egwu Congratulates New Acting Nat’l Chairman, Mohammed Abdulrahaman
The National Vice Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Southeast zone, Hon. Chidiebere Goodluck Egwu has congratulated the newly appointed Acting National Vice Chairman of the party, Alhaji Mohammed Abdulrahaman.
Hon. Egwu in a statement issued in Abakaliki on Monday called on the new acting chairman to “unite the party,” and prepare the party to recover its place as Nigeria’s main opposition party.
Southeast PDP chief called on the new chairman to rally all organs and stakeholders of the party so that the PDP can reclaim its pride of place.
Part of the statement reads:
“” Your emergence as the Acting National Chairman of our dear party at this point in time is a crucial opportunity for the reinvention of the PDP.
“We urge you to use this opportunity to liaise with all other organs of the party, including the Board of Trustees (BoT), the National Executive Committee (NEC) and other stakeholders to rejig our great party.
“Nigerians have been shortchanged over the years by the inactive and nonchalant attitude of the PDP leadership as Nigeria’s major opposition political party.
“We, therefore, urge you to reverse this trend by ensuring that the PDP unite as one powerful family to proffer a credible alternative to Nigerians.
“The PDP nurtured Nigerian democracy from 1999 to 2015 when the country was hijacked and ever since, the country has been a free fall from the economy to national security.
“On behalf of the teeming members of the PDP in the Southeast, as we congratulate you, we urge you to use this opportunity to unite our dear party and retrieve it from the stranglehold of anti-democratic forces so that we can face the 2027 general elections squarely as one united family.
Earlier, the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party had or Saturday suspended the national chairman, Mr. Illiya Damagun on allegations of “incompetence, financial mismanagement and disobedience to court orders.”
