The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has firmly distanced itself from any discussions regarding a coalition or merger with other opposition parties.
Hon. Debo Ologunagba, the National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, conveyed this stance during a telephone interview with journalists on Thursday.
Ologunagba emphasized that the PDP stands as the most organized and democratic political party in Nigeria to date. He asserted that the party would not engage in talks related to forming a coalition or merger with other opposition political entities.
In a statement released on Thursday, Ologunagba highlighted the PDP’s commitment to the ongoing process of rebuilding and strengthening the party.
RoyalTimes gathered that he emphasized the primary focus is on fortifying the PDP internally to safeguard the hard-won democracy the party represents.
Ologunagba said, “The PDP is the most organised and democratic party to exist in Nigeria to this day.
“Most other parties originated from the PDP. We did not and have not entered into any negotiations, nor have we had any talks for a coalition or merger, so-called, with any political party.
“In any case, if there is to be any such discussion, it is beyond the powers of the National Working Committee NWC to do so without the express consent of the National Executive Committee NEC of our great party.
“Every community in Nigeria has a functional PDP office. We are a party to due process; we don’t take actions without following our laid-down guidelines, procedures, and processes.
“Most Nigerians know we won the 2019 and 2023 elections, and everyone knows what happened. We are in the process of rebuilding and strengthening our party to defend our hard-won democracy. “
