The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Governors’ Forum said the party would soon take over all leadership positions occupied by other political parties in the country.
The Chairman of the PDP Governors Forum, Gov. Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State, gave the declaration at the opening of the forum meeting on Wednesday at the Government House, Enugu.
According to him, it is a very unique and ambitious meeting in the history of the party, as they are in Enugu to make history and showcase their perseverance to the party.
“Today we are here to unify ourselves, discuss issues that affect the party, and various matters within ourselves.
“Our agenda will go through governance across party administrations, discuss inter-party affairs, Congress, and other things we need to do to provide credible alternatives to Nigerians.
He revealed that the meeting involved PDP governors and other party stakeholders, including the national working committee and various organs of the party.
The governor added that their assessment had shown at the national level that the country were driving towards anarchy, stressing that “we will not allow that because we share history, we share aspirations for Nigerians.
“It is high time the party reclaimed its leadership position in all the states that are currently being occupied by other parties,” he said.
Mohammed commended Gov. Peter Mbah for hosting the meeting and for taking care of them since they arrived on Tuesday.
