We have put general elections’ defeat behind us – PDP

The leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has stated that it has put behind it the defeat in the last general elections. The former ruling party was ousted on March 28 during the presidential election. PDP, during its National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting on Thursday, in Abuja, admitted that though the election was a big loss for the party, but it had put that behind and had thus commenced the process of rebuilding ahead of 2019 general elections.
The party’s acting chairman, Uche Secondus, who doubled as chairman of the meeting said, “Our party has witnessed challenging times after our disappointing loss in the last elections. We moved from pain, despair, soul- searching and now by the grace of the Almighty God, we have started the process of rebuilding confidence in ourselves for a brighter future for the party.”

The PDP chairman added that the search for the replacement for its former stalwarts, Adamu Mu’azu and Tony Anenih as national chairman and chairman of the Board of Trustees, respectively, had begun.

His words, “It would be morally repugnant to target PDP members while seemingly protecting APC members. All we are calling for is an equal and fair treatment of all Nigerians under the law.

“Government should prevent the slide of our dear country into a police state by controlling some of the brazen acts of the security agencies against state institutions as exemplified in the invasion of the Akwa Ibom Government House by some officers of the DSS.
