The House of Representatives Minority Leader, Ndudi Elumelu, declared on Monday the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) would reclaim power at the centre in 2023.
Elumelu, who disclosed this in a statement in Abuja, said the successful conduct of the PDP national convention was an indication party was on the verge of regaining power from the All Progressives Congress (APC) in two years time.
The House minority leader congratulated the newly elected members of the party National Working Committee (NWC) and called for continued unity to enable them to achieve the goal.
A former Senate President, Dr. Iyochia Ayu, emerged as the National Chairman of the PDP at the party’s national convention held at the weekend in Abuja.
The statement read: “On behalf of our members in the House of Representatives, I congratulate our distinguished leaders and teeming members of our great party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the successful conduct of the 2021 National Convention of our party.
“We also congratulate the National Chairman-elect, Senator Iyorchia Ayu, and the other national officers-elect at the national convention as they prepare to assume office in December.
“Indeed, the unity of purpose and the spirit of sportsmanship witnessed at the event, despite all the challenges, further underscore the democratic credentials of our party as the platform for all Nigerians in the collective determination to rescue our nation from the stranglehold of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and return her to the part of good governance, national cohesion, and economic prosperity
