- He claimed that other parties originated from the PDP
The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has clarified that it is not engaged in any coalition or merger discussions with other opposition parties.
According to Hon. Debo Ologunagba, the National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, in a telephone conversation with Vanguard on Thursday, the party emphasized its stance.
When questioned about the PDP’s involvement in talks regarding forming a coalition or merger with other opposition parties, Ologunagba highlighted, “The PDP stands as the most organized and democratic party in Nigeria to this day.”
“Most other parties originated from the PDP. We did not and have not entered into any negotiations, nor have we had any talks for a coalition or merger, so-called, with any political party.
“In any case, if there is to be any such discussion, it is beyond the powers of the National Working Committee NWC to do so without the express consent of the National Executive Committee NEC of our great party.
“Every community in Nigeria has a functional PDP office. We are a party to due process; we don’t take actions without following our laid-down guidelines, procedures, and processes.
“Most Nigerians know we won the 2019 and 2023 elections, and everyone knows what happened. We are in the process of rebuilding and strengthening our party to defend our hard-won democracy. “
