Senate Minority Leader and Senator representing Benue South, Comrade Abba Moro, has declared that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) caucus in the National Assembly is fully in support of the party’s ongoing efforts to rebuild and reposition itself ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Moro made this known while delivering a speech at the 99th National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting of the PDP, which was held on Tuesday, May 27, 2027, at Legacy House in Maitama, Abuja.
“I bring you tidings from the National Assembly of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,”; Moro began.
“Members of the PDP in the National Assembly are completely in tandem with the efforts of the National Working Committee, the Board of Trustees, governors, and other critical stakeholders of our great party to revamp its fortunes.”;
He stressed that the unity and shared vision within the PDP’s legislative arm, assuring stakeholders that the party’s lawmakers remain committed to the leadership’s plan, which includes a series of strategic activities culminating in the national convention.
“We believe that given the circumstances we find ourselves in as a party, there’s no better time than now to line up activities that will re-assure members of the PDP, lovers of democracy, and the Nigerian people at large that PDP is coming back,”; he said.
The senator also addressed concerns over recent defections from the party, acknowledging the setbacks but insisting they do not define the PDP’s future. According to him, the PDP remains the strongest political brand in Nigeria, with structures in every part of the country.
“While we acknowledge that the defection of senior members may pose temporary challenges, we are confident that the party, with its enduring ideals and vision, will emerge stronger and remain the party to beat in 2027,”; he stated.
Moro reminded the gathering that the PDP was founded on democratic ideals by just a handful of visionaries, without governors, presidents, or lawmakers, and has since grown into a national force. He urged members not to lose faith in the party’s potential.
“Given the antics of the ruling party to keep us down, we must remind ourselves that Nigeria deserves an alternative, and that alternative is the PDP,”; he said.
The NEC meeting was attended by key figures in the party, including the National Working Committee, the Board of Trustees, PDP governors, and the leadership of the PDP caucus in the National Assembly, among other stakeholders.
