At the end of a meeting on Saturday in Jos, Governor of Bauchi State, Bala Mohammed, And Chairman of the PDP Governors Forum made the assertion that the party remains a formidable force in Nigeria.
He called on lovers of the PDP and Nigerians in general not to lose hope in the party.
“The Forum notes the concerns of Nigerians, the founding fathers, elders and members of our great party about the seeming divisions within its rank and file.
“The Forum, however, wishes to state categorically that it remains resolute in its determination to ensure unity and cohesion within the party.
“This is a party that Nigerians have come to trust as the best platform to provide democratic governance to all; it is still the party to beat,” he said the party will overcome all its challenges, adding that the ‘minor setbacks’ would soon be over.
The chairman also called on the party’s National Working Committee, NWC, to convey a meeting of the National Executive Council, NEC, as part of measures to address internal wranglings.
He commended members of the National Assembly elected under the platform of the party for their contributions toward the growth of democracy.
Mohammed, however, called on the leadership of the National Assembly to critically interrogate all bills to ensure fairness, equity, national balance and even development.
The governor, who noted with deep concern the current economic crisis in the country, called on President Bola Tinubu to urgently review his administration’s macro-economic and fiscal policies to address the welfare and well-being of Nigerians.
While commending Governor Caleb Mutfwang for hosting his colleagues in Plateau, Mohammed, equally commiserated with the government and people of the state over the recent fire outbreak at a wood market.
