Adolphus Wabara, former senator and Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has reassured party members and Nigerians that the opposition party remains resilient despite its current challenges.
Wabara gave the assurance during the launch of the PDP’s online membership registration in Umuahia.
Speaking to supporters at the event, he addressed concerns about the party’s ongoing struggles, largely linked to lingering leadership disputes, stressing that efforts are already underway to reposition the PDP for future electoral victories.
Wabara said: “The PDP can never die,” stressing that efforts were underway to address the internal issues affecting the party and encouraged members to participate actively in the new membership registration exercise.
The programme also included a stakeholders’ meeting and the inauguration of the Local Government Caretaker Committee leadership under the National Working Committee led by Kabiru Tanimu Turaki.
During his remarks, Wabara praised the chairman of the Abia PDP Caretaker Committee, Ikpegbu Emeka-Yellow, for providing effective leadership within a short period in office.
He also advised party leaders and members to avoid mistakes of the past, particularly the practice of godfatherism, and instead create equal opportunities for all members as part of efforts to rebuild and strengthen the party.
Wabara expressed confidence that with committed leadership and active involvement from party faithful, the PDP would experience renewed growth and perform strongly in future elections.
