The chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Board of Trustees (BOT), Senator Adolphus Wabara, has given an assurance that the party would overcome all its present challenges.
Wabara, who spoke on Saturday at the party’s National Convention in Ibadan, categorically stated that the PDP will not die.
The BoT Chairman, in his goodwill message at the event, commended members of the PDP for their resilience, democratic spirit and commitment to making Nigeria better.
Wabara said, “We are doing it again. The history of PDP cannot be written without your support and input in this party. I want to thank the delegates for coming but I can’t do that without thanking the host governor, His Excellency Seyi Makinde for his resilience and for the resources. It is not easy.
“For those of us who believe in this party, I welcome you all. This party will not die. This gathering is a testament to our resilience, Democratic spirit and collective commitment to the ideals of unity, progress and service to the Nigerian people.
“Today, we assembled to elect a new National Working Committee and I enjoin every member of our party to put forward the spirit of togetherness, sacrifice and loyalty. Let’s match forward for the greater goal ahead of us.
“I also congratulate our party for coming out stronger and united after the challenges we had faced in recent times. This has reaffirmed our enduring relevance and strengthened our resolve to reclaim our place as the leading democratic political party in Nigeria.”
He tasked the incoming members of the PDP National Working Committee to focus on reconciliation and inclusive leadership.
“I want to charge the new NWC to embrace inclusiveness, open your arms to new members, and deepen consultations across all levels. The task ahead requires unity of purpose, boldness, courage, discipline and an unwavering focus on the aspirations of Nigerians, who look to our party for hope and leadership,” Wabara added.
