The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) said the party is aware of the activities of certain individuals who are romancing with the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) but have restrained itself from sanctioning them.
Debo Ologunagba, party’s national publicity secretary, who stated this in Monday, in Abuja, said the party is first working to ensure stability within its fold.
“Today, we know and we must admit that there are people within our fold who are dining with the Apc.
“We know that and we can’t pretend about that. we know that they will manifest their shenanigans to ensure that we’re not focused on what we’re doing that,why they’re jittering because they’ve seen that, like i said figuratively the train of the convention is already in Ibadan and they are jittery . and people who have promised certain things to certain people will try to do some of these things to destroy the party, ” but we are united as a party, we are committed we’re strong we’re focused.”
The party, while admitting that it has challenges, however, stated that” it will resolve the matter, saying, “one thing is clear, you do not have control about what happens to you in this world but what you have control is about how you respond to what happens to you.”
” So, we are responding appropriately because there’s a bigger goal ahead.”
The PDP image maker said Nigerians are looking forward to seeing the party succeed.
“They are looking forward to having that convention so you can have a clean slate NWC that can pilot the affairs of the party towards 2027 and beyond.”
