Members of the House of Representatives elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party on Monday, pledged their willingness to abide by the decisions of the various Committees and organs of the party, including the Zamfara and Lagos states’ decisions, to strengthen the party ahead of the 2027 general election.
The caucus made its position known at the end of an emergency meeting in Abuja, the nation’s capital.
Briefing newsmen after the meeting, the caucus leader and member representing Sagbama/Ekeremor Federal Constituency, Bayelsa State, Fred Agbedi, said the PDP lawmakers are committed to supporting the party to make it the preferred choice of Nigerians in the next election cycle.
He said, “As representatives of the people, we are united to ensure that we support the position of the party, to create more stability, peace, and strengthen this party to ensure that we take victory in the presidential and other elections by 2027.
“There are no lingering crises. We have no issue with lingering crises. What we have told you is that the caucus adopts all the decisions of the committees and organs of the party, and we are ready to work with them.”
Agbedi pledged the caucus’ support for all peace moves aimed at restoring peace within the party’s fold as soon as possible, adding that as lawmakers, no effort would be spared in ensuring that the national leadership of the party is supported to provide a viable platform capable of giving the All Progressives Congress a run for its money.
The PDP is billed to hold its 102nd National Executive Committee meeting on Thursday, with issues bordering on reconciliation, discipline of errant members and the November national convention expected to top the agenda.
