The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has reaffirmed its commitment to unity and the rule of law, despite recent developments that led to the cancellation of its National Convention in Ibadan, Oyo State. Abdulrahman Mohammed, the factional acting National Chairman of the PDP, announced that the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) will communicate further decisions and next steps in compliance with the party’s constitution and Nigerian laws.
Mohammed emphasized that the PDP remains a united and indivisible family, guided by wisdom, justice, and legality in its decision-making processes. He assured supporters and the public that every decision taken by the party will be governed by these principles, as well as respect for members and a duty to protect the party’s integrity.
The PDP’s commitment to internal party democracy, constitutional governance, and the rule of law remains unwavering, according to Mohammed. The party’s actions will continue to be guided by legal advice and a focus on offering credible leadership and constructive opposition. Mohammed vowed to defend Nigeria’s democracy, peace, unity, and prosperity through principled engagement.
The cancellation of the National Convention was a significant development, but the PDP has reassured its supporters that it is committed to moving forward in a lawful and democratic manner. The party’s NWC will provide further updates on its next steps, which will be in line with the party’s constitution and Nigerian laws.
The PDP’s stance on unity and the rule of law is crucial, given the current political landscape in Nigeria. As a major opposition party, the PDP’s commitment to democratic principles and internal party democracy is essential for promoting good governance and accountability in the country. The party’s ability to navigate its internal challenges while remaining focused on its core values will be closely watched by its supporters and the wider public.
In the coming days, the PDP’s NWC is expected to provide more information on the party’s plans and next steps. As the party moves forward, its commitment to unity, the rule of law, and democratic principles will be critical in shaping its future and its role in Nigerian politics.
