COMMUNIQUE OF THE MEETING OF CONCERNED LEADERS OF THE PDP HELD AT TRANSCORP HILTON HOTEL ABUJA ON
TUESDAY 1ST JULY 2025
The meeting of Concerned Leaders of our great Party PDP was called to discuss the disturbing condition the Party has been sunk into.
The inability of PDP leadership to lead the Party by its Constitution, rules and regulations led it into a chaotic and undisciplined Party! All indices of development that support the comfort and quality of lives of the citizens have collapsed, and life is now hell in Nigeria
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 heatwave unleashed by the APC Federal government through threats, blackmail and patronage has forced elected officers in government to abandon the PDP.
The meeting here now decides:
a) The meeting encourages all well-meaning PDP Members and other patriotic Nigerians to join the coalition.
b) All coalition partners must be united on the issues of NATIONAL UNITY, DEMOCRACY, NATIONAL SECURITY, NATIONAL ECONOMY, and the political will to stamp out corruption embedded in our institutions.
c) the coalition partners to work out the modalities of winning all elections taking into consideration local and national peculiarities.
Meanwhile in Benue State some wards are already mounting ADC billboards saying they have suffered so much in APC.
According to a tweet from Igba Gordonz @igbagorfonz3 “The info that another party’s billboard was destroyed for the ADC own to be mounted is false. The ward where this billboard is mounted has all joined the coalition along with the billboard. No opposition to ADC here. My people have suffered enough and want to end it now 2ru ADC”
