The South-East Zonal National Vice Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Hon. Chidiebere Goodluck Egwu, has lauded the newly appointed Acting National Chairman of the party, Mohammed Abdulrahaman, calling his emergence a critical opportunity for the party’s reinvention.

Egwu urged Abdulrahaman to leverage his position to engage with all organs of the party, including the Board of Trustees (BoT), the National Executive Committee (NEC), and other stakeholders, to restructure and strengthen the PDP.

In a statement personally issued on Monday and shared with DAILY POST, Egwu noted that Nigerians have been shortchanged over the years by the PDP’s perceived inactivity and lack of responsiveness as the nation’s main opposition party.

“We, therefore, urge you to reverse this trend by ensuring that the PDP unites as one powerful family to proffer a credible alternative to Nigerians,” the statement read.

Egwu recalled that the PDP nurtured Nigerian democracy from 1999 to 2015, after which the country has reportedly experienced declines in both the economy and national security.

“On behalf of the teeming members of the PDP in the South-East, as we congratulate you, we urge you to use this opportunity to unite our dear party and retrieve it from the stranglehold of anti-democratic forces, so that we can face the 2027 general elections squarely as one united family,” Egwu added.
