Governors elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, have declared that the party remains a formidable force in Nigeria.
Chairman of the PDP Governors Forum and Governor of Bauchi State, Bala Mohammed, made the assertion at the end of a meeting on Saturday in Jos.
Mohammed said the party will overcome all its challenges, adding that the ‘minor setbacks’ would soon be over.
He called on lovers of the PDP and Nigerians in general not to lose hope in the party.
“The Forum notes the concerns of Nigerians, the founding fathers, elders and members of our great party about the seeming divisions within its rank and file.
“The Forum, however, wishes to state categorically that it remains resolute in its determination to ensure unity and cohesion within the party.
“This is a party that Nigerians have come to trust as the best platform to provide democratic governance to all; it is still the party to beat,” he said.
The chairman also called on the party’s National Working Committee, NWC, to convey a meeting of the National Executive Council, NEC, as part of measures to address internal wranglings.
He commended members of the National Assembly elected under the platform of the party for their contributions toward the growth of democracy
