PDP Replies Orubebe, Says It Won’t Fail Nigerians

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has reassured that its
repositioned and rebranded platform remains the best political
vehicle to return Nigeria to the path of good governance and
national unity.

The party said it has been aggregating opinions of its members
and Nigerians at large on the way forward and has since perfected a
level playing ground as no individual or group can claim ownership
or control of the party under its present leadership.

PDP National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, in a
statement yesterday, said the fears expressed by one of the party
leaders and a former minister, Godsday Orubebe, was rather
misplaced as the issues contemplated in his open letter are no
longer obtainable in the repositioned PDP.

“It is also obvious to all, that our great party, under the
leadership of Prince Uche Secondus, has since been thrown open to
all Nigerians for equal and unhindered participation, a development
that has led to the renewed interest of Nigerians on our platform
as the only true vehicle to return the nation to good
governance.

“Furthermore, we have already moved forward by inviting members
who had left the party and the responses, which we have received so
far, have been very encouraging. Not just that, our party is also
receiving new members from other political parties and we will soon
commence an online registration to capture the old, new and
returning members with equal rights, opportunities and
privileges.

It noted that with the proposed membership drive through the
online registration, it is certain that the party is being returned
to the people, whose financial contributions would make them the
true owners of the PDP.

“As a political party, with mass support of Nigerians and
representing all interests across the six geo-political zones, the
36 states of the federation and the FCT, our new leadership has
succeeded in bringing all our members on board and we are working
together now, more than ever before, to rescue our nation from the
misrule of the dysfunctional All Progressives Congress (APC),” PDP
said.
