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 on Tuesday, said the fears expressed by one of the party leaders and
a former minister, Elder Godsday Orubebe, was rather misplaced as the issues
contemplated in his open letter are no longer obtainable in the repositioned
PDP.
PDP also said it is obvious to all that under the leadership
of Prince Uche Secondus, the party 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 its platform as the only true vehicle to return the
nation to good governance.
It further said, “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 is imperative to inform 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).
“We therefore urge all our members to continue to propagate
the ideals of our party and engage only in activities that promote unity and the
tenets of democracy in line with the vision of our founding fathers and the
overall interest of our dear nation.
“Today, Nigerians across board are waiting on the PDP to
navigate our collective quest for a return to good governance, national
cohesion and economic prosperity and we cannot afford to disappoint them,” the
party concluded
