Governor Mbah appeals to aggrieved PDP members to return to party
Governor Peter Mbah has appealed to aggrieved PDP members to seize the opportunity presented by the ongoing reconciliation process to return to the party.
The governor also called for peace and unity among the members of the PDP in the South-East zone and the entire country.
Mr Mbah made the appeals on Thursday when he received members of the PDP National Reconciliation Committee led by former Governor Olagunsoye Oyinlola at the Enugu Government House.
The PDP National Reconciliation Committee visited the governor to brief him on efforts made by the committee to resolve several issues in the party.
Mr Mbah, who described Enugu as the bastion of PDP, enjoined the committee to ensure genuine and lasting peace to bring back aggrieved members into the party.
He insisted the party could win elections only through a united front built on reconciliation and justice.
Mr Mbah further added that the party in the South-East operated as members of the same family. He stressed that the party in the zone had done extensive work to bring back those who left the party.
“We also believe that the Southeast is a stronghold of the PDP and if we have people who are out now, it is not necessarily their desire to be out. So, what we need at this time is to bring back our aggrieved members to where they belong.
“The PDP is still largely the party with the spread that is required to win any election in this country and still appeals to the people of this country. I have no doubt in mind that those our brothers who are just waiting for moments like this will be brought back to where they belong and we can forge a strong alliance going into the next general elections,” the Enugu governor added.
Mr Oyinlola said the disunity in the party was one of the reasons the party lost the 2023 presidential election and other election cycles in the country.
Mr Oyinilola appealed to aggrieved members of the party in the South-East to sheathe their swords and embrace the idea behind the peace and reconciliation process for the good of the party.
According to him, Nigerians need to invest their trust in PDP to do things right in the country.
