…As party charts new course for renaissance, says time up for APC

By Friday Idachaba, Lokoja

PEOPLES’ Democratic Party (PDP), Kogi State Chapter, has said that the people are eager for its return to Lugard House to rekindle their hope for good governance, and has therefore charted a new course aimed at reclaiming the seat it lost in 2015.

State Chairman of the PDP, Hon. Muhammed Sanni Gambo who disclosed this at the weekend in a meeting with PDP members in Lokoja said the Party has commenced mobilization of its members at the grassroots for the 2027 General Election.

He noted that time is up for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state to leave, having outlived its usefulness adding that the PDP was on a new course of rebirth.

“Let me repeat it again. Time is up for the APC. They should write there handing over notes. Kogi people want the PDP back.

“They said our years in Government was rewarding. They said they can’t wait any more. Enough is enough, 2027 is the PDP turn. Let Kogi APC pack and go.

“Life is a curve; you go from the bottom to the apex and back down again. We started from zero in 1998, ruled for 16 years, and then began a descent. We have reached the bottom of the valley, now we are heading back up.

“This is a rebirth process. We have analysed our mistakes and successes. I’m very proud that with the outcome, result thus far we have renounced. We are in a period of Renaissance.

“We have both ‘qualitative’ and ‘quantitative’ voices in the party. While the qualitative voices (the elite) are important, democracy is a game of numbers.

“We are balancing these while repositioning to reclaim power in 2027 by returning power to the women and Youths”, Hon. Gambo explained.

The Party, according to him, is conducting grassroots mobilisation and Stakeholders engagement, expressing optimism that feelers prove that PDP will return to Lugard House in 2027.

Hon. Gambo said his strategy remains going back to the people. “Our Party now abhors god-fatherism that has long undermined the party’s operations.

“We want the people to take charge of their own. Internal democracy has returned to the Party. We will no longer do things like in the past”.

“We are already seeing a mass movement to our Party. We have met with several members who left for the APC and ADC. In the coming days, we will be receiving over 200 returning and new members into the PDP.
