The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) remains strong and united despite facing challenges, according to its Kaduna State Chairman, Edward Masha. Masha, who also chairs the PDP Chairmen’s Forum of the Northern States and the Federal Capital Territory, made this statement in an interview with DITV. He dismissed claims that the party is weakening or on the verge of collapse, stating that attempts to cripple the party have failed.
The PDP, according to Masha, is the most formidable and well-structured political party in Nigeria, with a strong grassroots presence and a commitment to democratic values. He attributed the party’s resilience to its deep roots in the Nigerian polity, making it impossible to erase. Masha noted that the party’s structures at the grassroots, combined with its experience in governance, make it a significant force in the country’s political landscape.
Masha stated that those who plotted the downfall of the PDP have ended up frustrating themselves, as the party remains alive, relevant, and competitive nationwide. He reaffirmed his commitment, alongside other party leaders, to strengthening internal unity and consolidating the party’s gains ahead of future elections. The party is focused on unity, reconciliation, and repositioning itself for greater electoral success, according to Masha.
The PDP chieftain called on party members and supporters to remain steadfast, mobilized, and united as the party moves forward. He expressed confidence that the PDP would emerge stronger ahead of the 2027 general elections, urging Nigerians to continue supporting the party’s vision for national development. With its strong foundation and commitment to democratic values, the PDP is poised to play a significant role in Nigeria’s political future.
The PDP’s ability to withstand challenges and maintain its relevance is a testament to its strength and resilience. As the party looks to the future, it is clear that it will continue to be a major player in Nigerian politics. With its focus on unity and reconciliation, the PDP is well-positioned to build on its gains and achieve greater electoral success in the years to come. As Nigeria approaches the 2027 general elections, the PDP’s role in shaping the country’s political landscape will be closely watched by observers and citizens alike.
