Defections ; PDP Remain Stronger

Sen. Caucus

From Lateef Taiwo

Rising from its meeting, the Senate Caucus of the Peoples’ Democratic Party has assured its members that contrary to insinuations that the party is in shreds and on the verge of collapse, the party remains strong and will continue to wax stronger.
The PDP Senate Caucus led by Senator Abba moro, the minority senate leader told newsmen that the current conflicts in the PDP is not unique to the party as all the other parties such as the All Progressives Congress, the Labour Party, the New Nigeria Peoples’ Party, the Social Democratic Party etc have their own shares of crisis and conflicts.
“The Senate Caucus of the PDP therefore, urges all our teaming members to remain resolute in their commitment, dedication, and loyalty to the Party. The Caucus believes that the series of activities lined up by the leadership of the Party will throw up a new lease of life and leadership in the Party that will make it competitive in future elections.”
The Senate Caucus of the PDP states further that the beauty of democracy is in the existence of robust opposition to keep the ruling party in check to ensure good governance. Celebrating of the emasculation of other parties and tilting towards a one party state will not advance the cause of democracy.
The Senate Caucus of the PDP states that it is not averse to the idea and ideals of coalition. The Caucus observes the synthesization of ideas and creating a harmony of ideals will further the beauty of democracy. However, the Caucus advises that any such coalition should be driven by political parties and not individuals. And as the biggest of all the opposition parties, the PDP’s Umbrella is big enough to accommodate all persons desirous of Coalition. The People’s Democratic Party, therefore, should drive the Coalition if and when it becomes necessary.
Finally, the Senate Caucus of the PDP states emphatically that the party is a big brand that is competitive. In all nooks and crannies of Nigeria, there are PDP members. The Caucus asserts that out of the throes of the current conflicts in the Party will arise a renewed vibrant party that will give Nigeria an alternative to the current ruling party.
The Caucus, therefore, urges all members of the party to rededicate, recommit and demonstrate steadfast and unwavering loyalty to the party to provide a safeguard for democracy in Nigeria.
