The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has debunked the rumour spreading like wild harmattan fire that the party is in talks with other political parties to wrestle the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of the 2027 general election.
PDP denied the claim on Wednesday, June 5th, 2024 in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Hon. Debo Ologunagba.
He said: “National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) after its 587th meeting in Abuja on Tuesday, June 4, 2024, restates for the umpteenth time that the PDP is not engaged in any merger, fusion or amalgamation talks with any other political Party or interest.”
“While the PDP, as a truly people’s Party, is open and welcoming to all Nigerians including our former members who left for other parties, we state that our Party remains strong and formidable, capable of winning elections in a free,fair and transparent electoral process in our country.”
“The NWC acknowledges the influx of millions of Nigerians into our Party in the on-going Party Membership Drive in all the Electoral Wards across the country; which further confirms that the PDP remains the Party of choice for majority of Nigerians.”
“The public, teeming members of our great Party, Democracy Institutions and of course the International Community should therefore disregard any report suggesting any form of merger between the PDP and any other political Party as such is not in the contemplation of our great Party.”
