The Peoples Democratic Party says it has recovered from the fallout of the last general elections.
The acclaimed largest party in Africa was booted out of power after 16 years by the All Progressives Congress, APC.
PDP said it had recovered from the pain and thus focused on how to recapture power from the ruling APC in 2019.
The party, in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh, in Abuja on Saturday, said the emergence of governor Olusegun Mimiko of Ondo State as the PDP Governors’ Forum Chairman was part of its plan to oust the APC from power in 2019.
The statement also lauded all the governors under the umbrella of the PDP for their continued commitment towards the party “as it reengineers and repositions to regain power in 2019.”
Metuh added that the recent political events in the country had continued to vindicate the PDP as “the only true national platform committed to national interest, where all citizens as equal partners are free to hold opinion and aspire to any position, no matter how high, without regard to creed, class or ethnic considerations and in which no individual or group of individuals can claim ownership or attempt to appropriate control.”
Stating that the PDP “has since overcome the setback of the last general elections,” the spokesperson for the opposition party said as a party founded on the principles of freedom, equality, justice and national unity, the PDP’s spirit “is still alive and stronger now more than ever before, in the minds of most Nigerians and families in all the nooks and crannies of the country”.
