A former national acting chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Abubakar Kawu Baraje, has said the 2023 election would revolt against the misrule of the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) for the last seven years.
Goldennewsng reports that the opposition party chieftain said the seven years of APC’s stay in power has brought Nigerian economic poverty, insecurity and inflation.
Alhaji Baraje stated this in Ilorin at a critical stakeholders meeting of the PDP in Kwara State ahead of the 2023 general election.
Baraje called on the party stakeholders in Kwara to come together and give Nigerians hope which the PDP represents.
He stated that the Nigerians are waiting for the PDP to take over power come 2023 general election.
Also, the party’s senatorial candidate for Kwara Central in the 2023 elections, Malam Bolaji Abdullahi, called on party leaders in the state to put their differences aside and work as a united family to ensure their success in the general election.
Abdullahi stated that the party needs to form a united front in the coming general election.
The host of the meeting, the Kwara Central PDP chairman, Alhaji Ishiaq Owolabi, called on the party stakeholders to put the interest of the people and the party ahead of their individual interests to get the winning which the party need in the general election.
Owolabi called on the party leaders to give peace a chance to ensure that the party candidates emerge victorious in the next general election.
The opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) are challenged by internal rivalries since it concluded its primary elections in May.
From Ekiti State, where the party lost to the All Progressive Congress in the June governorship election to Rivers State, where Governor Nyesom Wike is slugging it out with the party’s state supporters of Atiku Abubakar whom he declared as an enemy.
The national level is also marred by internal rivalry, as calls are growing for the resignation of the national chairman, Ayu Iyorchia, over the emergence of Atiku Abubakar as the party’s presidential candidate.
Internal sources said Ayu had agreed to resign from his position if a Northerner emerged as a presidential candidate.
With a few weeks to the official campaign for the 2023 general election, will the PDP be able to put its house in order to come as a united entity?
