The PDP governors declared the stance, among others, at the end of their 7th meeting of the year 2025, held at the Government House, Gusau, Zamfara STATE capital on Saturday afternoon.
In a communique issued shortly after the closed door meeting by PDP-GF, signed by its chairman and governor of Bauchi State, Senator Bala A. Mohammed, the Forum also asked PDP members to see the party as the only democratic institution and viable alternative for restoring Nigeria along the path of good governance and national development even as it appreciated them for their steadfast, loyalty in the face of what it called serious intimidation and untold anti-democratic actions of the APC-led Federal Government in the last bye-elections.
“The Peoples Democratic Party Governors’ Forum (PDP-GF) held its 2025/7TH Meeting in Gusau, the Zamfara State capital, on Saturday, August 23, 2025. The Forum extensively deliberated on the state of the nation, the security situation, the erosion of democratic values, as well as ongoing efforts to reposition the party and make adequate preparations for its forthcoming national convention.”
“At the end of the meeting, the Forum resolved as follows;
“The Forum commends the resilience of PDP leaders and members in overcoming orchestrated defections, stressing that such distractions cannot diminish the party’s strong grassroots appeal or the growing public yearning for the return of affordable living and relative security experienced under PDP-led administrations.
“The Forum urges members and supporters of our Great Party, as well as the entire citizenry, to hold fast to the vision and principles of the PDP, in spite of the growing intimidation of the opposition by the government in power. This sad situation should only be seen as the sign of the desperation of a political party with no agenda, no vision and doomed to face inevitable rejection by the masses.
