PDP Spokesman Says Nigerians Want Party to Reorganize Ahead of 2027 Elections

According to Debo Ologunagba, the Peoples Democratic Party’s national publicity secretary, Nigerians are keen to see the party organize.

Speaking to reporters on Wednesday about the party’s national convention preparations, which are set for November 15–16, Ologunagba made this statement.

The interest that Nigerians from all walks of life had showed in the party convention, he continued, was proof of their devotion to and faith in the PDP.

Nigerians are curious in the PDP’s efforts to unite as a party because they believe that the party’s vitality is the only way to ensure that democracy will continue to exist in the nation.

“The excitement and interest that Nigerians of all stripes have in our party is explained by the fact that the upcoming national electoral convention is essential to the country’s democracy’s survival.

For sixteen years, the PDP governed us without interruption. For Nigerians, that is the heyday of the nation’s progress and prosperity.

“We cleared off our loans during the PDP’s rule. Double-digit GDP growth was achieved. We controlled inflation. We had human capital development policies that invested in people.

When the PDP departed power in 2015, our economy had grown to be the largest in Africa and valued at over $600 billion.

At the time, he claimed, “Nigeria was the top destination for foreign capital investment.”

He claimed that in order to ensure the convention’s success and inclusivity, party members were already contributing to its 15 broad-based subcommittees.

In response to rumors that one of the PDP governors will soon lose to the ruling All Progressives Congress, or APC, Ologunagba stated that the PDP is more than just a single person and that it shouldn’t have any influence over the convention.

Additionally, according to Ologunagba, the PDP had wrapped up their Congress in Edo.

According to him, the state congress was organized on September 27 by a committee duly established by the party leadership, and an appeal panel was established to address any issues raised by the Congress.

Perhaps the alleged congress was merely a publicity stunt to defend the paymaster of the criminals, he continued.
