The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the South East has reaffirmed its commitment to rebuilding and repositioning the party in Enugu State, following recent political developments. This resolution was made during a meeting between the South East PDP Special Committee on Enugu Affairs and the Enugu State Working Committee, led by Acting State Chairman, Barr. Steve Oruruo.

The meeting focused on reconciliation, revitalization of party structures, and renewed engagement with grassroots stakeholders across the 17 local government areas of the state. According to Chief James Ugwu, Chairman of the Special Committee and South East Secretary of the PDP, the meeting was a rallying point for unity and renewed strength within the party. Despite recent political shifts, Ugwu noted that the PDP remains resilient and firmly rooted in Enugu’s political landscape.

The party is mobilizing from the grassroots, reaching out to stakeholders, and realigning itself to reflect the will and aspirations of the people. The PDP’s long-standing presence and achievements in Enugu will serve as the foundation for its revival, with party members assured that the structure remains strong and cohesive. Engr. Sir Chigozie Igwe, Secretary of the Special Committee and South East Zonal Publicity Secretary of the PDP, described the engagement as an important step toward repositioning the PDP and reclaiming its dominance in Enugu politics.

The exit of Governor Peter Mbah from the PDP was acknowledged as a surprise, but the party remains undeterred and focused on renewal. The PDP has been the cornerstone of Enugu’s political stability since 1999, and the party is confident that its values, structures, and people-centered ideology will guide it back to victory. The Acting Chairman of the PDP in Enugu State, Barr. Steve Oruruo, commended the South East leadership for its steadfastness and reaffirmed his commitment to the collective revival of the party.

The Special Committee on Enugu Affairs has been tasked with spearheading reconciliation efforts, strengthening party structures, and preparing the PDP for upcoming electoral contests. The committee’s focus is on fostering unity, bridging internal divides, and revitalizing local structures to ensure the party remains a formidable political force. With a renewed focus on unity and purposeful strategy, the South East PDP is optimistic that it will reclaim Enugu’s Lion Building and restore its legacy of responsive governance. The party’s efforts to rebuild and reposition itself are seen as crucial in maintaining its relevance in Enugu State’s political landscape.
