ADC coalition: Wabara reveals how defectors will return to PDP
Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Board of Trustees, BoT, Adolphus Wabara, has revealed the conditions that would make many PDP defectors to return back to the party.
Wabara said many would come back to the PDP if the party delivers strong and inspiring leadership at its upcoming national convention.
The former Senate President made this disclosure at the PDP’s 101st National Executive Committee, NEC, meeting held on Thursday in Abuja.
Wabara, who was represented at the event by former Kaduna State Governor, Senator Ahmed Makarfi, stressed that the party’s ability to resolve its internal differences and elect credible leaders would be key to reclaiming its place as Nigeria’s leading opposition force.
“The Board of Trustees has always supported all organs of the party, especially the governors, in promoting unity and building consensus to move the party forward,” Wabara said.
The BoT chair stated further that although many doubted the NEC would hold, it is now a constitutionally recognised event whose outcome will shape the political terrain ahead of the 2027 general elections.
“This is a very important meeting that many believed would never happen. But here we are, meeting legally and constitutionally. The decisions we take today will send a strong message to those who are still sceptical,” he said.
Wabara expressed optimism that a successful convention would not only bring back those who left the party but also attract new members, including people who have never been involved in partisan politics.
