The People Democratic Party (PDP) Governors’ Forum, has vowed to reclaim all leadership positions it lost to other political parties in the recent past.
The Chairman of the Forum, Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State, said this at the opening of its meeting on Wednesday at the Government House, Enugu.
He said the meeting was very unique and ambitious in the history of the party, adding that they were in Enugu to make history and showcase their perseverance as a party.
“Today we are here to unify ourselves, discuss issues that affect the party and various matters within ourselves.
“Our agenda will go through governance across party administration, discuss inter-party affair, congress and other things we need to do in providing credible alternative to Nigerians,” he said.
He revealed that the meeting involved PDP governors and other party stakeholders including the national working committee and various organs of the party.
The governor added that their assessment had shown at the national level that the country was drifting towards anarchy, stressing: “We will not allow that because we share history, we share aspiration with Nigerians.
“It is high time the party reclaimed its leadership position in all the states that are currently being occupied by other parties,” he said.
Mohammed commended Gov. Peter Mbah for hosting the meeting and for taking care of them since they arrived on Tuesday.
