Kogi Central Senator, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, has urged leaders and stakeholders of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to embrace reconciliation and move beyond lingering litigations.
This followed the recent judgment of the Court of Appeal of
Nigeria concerning the party’s national convention.
Natasha made the call in a statement issued in Abuja on
Tuesday by her media aide, Mike Idoko.
The lawmaker charged party members across the country to see
the judgment as an opportunity to restore unity, strengthen internal democracy
and reposition the PDP ahead of the 2027 general elections.
She stated that prolonged legal battles within the party
could undermine the aspirations of loyal members who hope to contest elections
under the PDP platform.
“The Court of Appeal has spoken, and as a democratic party
that believes in the rule of law, we must now shift our focus from litigation
to reconciliation and rebuilding.
“The strength of our party lies in unity, collective purpose
and our shared commitment to providing Nigerians with credible leadership,” she
said.
According to her, political parties exist primarily to
provide platforms for citizens seeking to serve their communities and the
country through elective offices.
She warned that internal disputes should not be allowed to
derail the aspirations of party members preparing for future elections.
She further urged party leaders to adopt compromise and
statesmanship in resolving internal disagreements, noting that the moment
requires maturity, dialogue and a collective commitment to the survival and
progress of the PDP.
Natasha urged stakeholders to work towards an inclusive and
credible national convention in compliance with the guidelines of the
Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.
