The Senate Minority Leader, Abba Moro, on Saturday declared
that the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, will not collapse.
Moro expressed confidence that the PDP will bounce back
stronger from its current crisis and loss of members.
Speaking in Jos, Plateau State, during the party’s North
Central Zonal Elective Congress, the Benue South Senator also expressed
confidence that Nigeria will not slide into a one-party state.
He said that with the election of the North Central zonal
executives, the former ruling party will continue to grow stronger.
According to Moro: “It has been a very successful event. You
can see the enthusiasm; delegates from across the zone, including the FCT, are
excited and happy that the exercises are taking place today. As you well know,
this is one in a series of activities the PDP has lined up in response to the
seeming crisis within the party.
“These activities are all leading up to the National
Convention for the election of a brand-new party leadership. Let’s not forget
that the apparent crisis in the party stems from a leadership struggle.
“But with new leaders being elected from the ward to the
local government, then to the state and now the zonal levels and eventually at
the National Convention, this process will breathe new life into the PDP.
“The party will continue to grow stronger. With the
impressive turnout here, representing all corners of the North Central zone,
and with leaders like former Governor Saraki and the rest of us present, I can
confidently assure you that the PDP is not collapsing, contrary to
insinuations.
“I have no fear of Nigeria becoming a one-party state. Not
at all. I don’t believe that’s a likely outcome. Yes, defections have a ripple
effect, and the initial shock can be significant. But after that, PDP members
will regroup, recommit, and rededicate themselves to the cause. I am confident
that the PDP is coming back stronger.”
