Chieftains of the People’s Democratic Party on Tuesday wooed members of the party to join the coalition being formed to challenge the All Progressive Congress in the 2027 general election.
The PDP chieftains made the call after a meeting in the Federal Capital Territory on Tuesday.
The likes of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, former Senate President David Mark, and other ex-goverbors attended the meeting.
The group, in a communique, cited constant internal crisis as reason for members of the PDP to join the coalition.
According to the group, the PDP is now a “shawdow of it old self”.
“The inability of PDP leadership to lead the Party by its Constitution, rules and regulations led it into a chaotic and undisciplined Party,” the group said.
“The vision of the founding fathers for which the party was established and the role it played in restoring Nigeria as a stable and united country and key player on the regional, continental, and global stage has been washed away just as our roles as the leader of the black race is now overtaken by smaller and less endowed countries.
“The PDP, which is organic with the discipline, capacity, and history to lead and save Nigeria, is now a shadow of its old self.”
The group faulted the APC for the current situation in the country, stating the Nigeria is now an embarrassment of the world stage.
The APC was accused of coming into power with “false and evil propaganda to save Nigeria” but is now using state institutions to “stifle and destroy democracy”.
