A Chieftain of the PDP in Abia state, Chief Surv. Jeffrey Ogbudu has described what is happening to the PDP as a great opportunity for the party to rebuild and re-strategize to form a formidable party that is focused and ready for victory ahead of future elections.
Speaking to journalists in Umuahia the capital of Abia state, Chief Ogbudu said: “Our committed party members and supporters should not feel discouraged but rather understand that it is important that those who may not be committed enough to work towards rebuilding the party voluntarily give way for genuine, patriotic, honourable and selfless members who are ready to work and build our party and our state.”
According to him“ Nigeria is a multi-party democracy where our constitution guarantees the right of everyone to belong to any legal organization of their choice including political parties.
He maintained that “whatever that is happening now is not totally out of place, but part of the road towards strengthening the party for excellent results in elections, the defections have provided an opportunity for the PDP to “genuinely restrategize” ahead of coming elections”
“The party remains strong, formidable, and the biggest political party in Abia state, he advised members to stay committed to the PDP and join hands to work towards building a stronger party both at the national and state.
Chief Jeffrey Ogbudu, who was an aspirant for the 2023 House of Assembly seat in Umuahia North state constituency said “The PDP remains the party to beat in any election both at the national and state levels and expressed confidence that the party will come out of its present turbulence healthier, bigger, stronger and victorious”
