Stakeholders under the  Concerned Leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party, have called on party members and other patriotic Nigerians to join the proposed coalition party to wrestle power from the ruling party, the All Progressives Congress (APC)

Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, former President of the Senate, David Mark, former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) National Chairman, Prince Uche Secondus, former governors Aminu Tambuwal (Sokoto), Liyel Imoke (Cross River), Babangida Aliyu (Niger), Gabriel Suswam (Benue) and Sam Egwu (Ebonyi) are the leading voices behind the call.

They said it was necessary for Nigerians to join and strengthen the coalition since the PDP and the All Progressives Congress (APC) have failed the country. 

The directive by the Concerned Leaders of the PDP is coming 24 hours after the PDP held its National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting, where it was stated that the crisis in the party has been resolved. 

It was noted that some members of the Concerned Leaders calling on PDP members to join, were also at the party NEC meeting on Monday. 

In a communique signed by David Mark, who presided over their meeting on Tuesday, the Concerned Leaders of the PDP, noted that the inability of PDP leadership to lead the Party by its Constitution, rules and regulations led it into a chaotic and undisciplined Party. 

The communique said: “The meeting of Concerned Leaders of our great Party PDP was called to discuss the disturbing condition the Party has been sunk into.

“Since our loss in the last presidential election and the exit of Dr. Iyorchia Ayu as National Chairman, our dear Party has never been the same again.

“Vested interests from within and the irresponsible actions of the APC led federal government which has been using State Institutions to stifle and destroy the Democracy knows no bounds!

“The inability of PDP leadership to lead the Party by its Constitution, rules and regulations led it into a chaotic and undisciplined Party!

“The vision of the founding Fathers for which the Party was established and the role it played in restoring Nigeria as stable and united country and key player on the regional, continental, and global stage has been washed away just as our roles as the leader of the black race is now overtaken by smaller and less endowed countries.

“Painfully, Nigeria is now a diminished country and an embarrassment on the world stage!

“The meeting took time to deliberate deeply on the issues of democracy, national unity, national security, economy, corruption, governance, and other concerns plaguing our country.

“Arising from the above, the meeting hereby resolved as follows:

“The APC government, which came into being on the false and evil propaganda, to save Nigeria from PDP is now a disaster to our nation and therefore must be voted out of power.

“All indices of development that support the comfort and quality of lives of the citizens have collapsed, and life is now hell in Nigeria.

“The PDP, which is organic with the discipline, capacity, and history to lead and save Nigeria, is now a shadow of its old self. The heatwave unleashed by the APC Federal government through threats, blackmail and patronage has forced elected officers in government to abandon the PDP.

“The meeting here now decides: “The meeting encourages all well-meaning PDP Members and other patriotic Nigerians to join the coalition.

“All coalition partners must be united on the issues of National Unity,Democracy,National Security,National Economy, and the political will to stamp out corruption embedded in our institutions.

“The coalition partners to work out the modalities of winning all elections taking into consideration local and national peculiarities.”
