By EZEKIEL OBI, Abuja –
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has categorically dismissed rumors of potential merger talks with other political parties, reaffirming its commitment to independence and strength.
According to National Publicity Secretary Debo Ologunagba, the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) has declared that PDP remains a formidable force, open to all Nigerians, including former members who defected to other parties.
This declaration follows the party’s 587th meeting in Abuja, emphasizing PDP’s resilience and determination to stand alone in the political landscape.
Ologunagba said the party is capable of winning elections in a free, fair and transparent electoral process in Nigeria.
“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.
“This further confirms that the PDP remains the party of choice for majority of Nigerians.
“The public, teeming members of PDP 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,” he said.
