Nigerians are ready to see the party get its house in order, according to Debo Ologunagba, the Peoples Democratic Party’s national publicity secretary.
Speaking to reporters on Wednesday regarding the planning for the party’s national convention, which is set for November 15–16, Ologunagba made this statement.
He went on to say that Nigerians’ affection and faith in the PDP were evident from their widespread attendance at the party convention.
Because they believe that the PDP’s vitality is the only way to ensure the continuation of democracy in the nation, Nigerians are keen to learn what the party is doing to unite as a group.
“The upcoming national electoral convention is essential to Nigeria’s democracy’s survival, which is why Nigerians of all stripes are so interested in and enthusiastic about our party.
“The PDP governed us without interruption for sixteen years. Nigerians consider that to be the heyday of this nation’s progress and optimism.
“Our obligations were settled during the PDP’s tenure. We experienced GDP growth in double digits. Inflation was under control. We had policies that supported the growth of people’s human capital.
“Our economy was the largest in Africa, and it was worth over $600 billion by the time the PDP left office in 2015.”
He said that at the time, Nigeria was the top location for foreign capital investment.
He claimed that party members were already contributing to the convention’s 15 wide-ranging subcommittees in order to ensure its success and inclusivity.
Ologunagba responded to rumors that one of the PDP governors would be overthrown by the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the near future by saying that the PDP is more than just a single person and that it cannot influence the convention.
Additionally, Ologunagba insisted that the PDP has wrapped up its Edo Congress.
He claimed that a committee duly appointed by the party leadership organized the state congress on September 27 and established an appeal panel to address any issues raised by the Congress.
He went on to say that the alleged congress might have been a publicity stunt to defend the paymaster of the criminals.
