Chieftains of the Kaduna State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have denied claims that its members are leaving the party in droves.
Sir Edward Percy Masha, Chairman of the party in the state, stated in a communiqué that there is a renewed effort to wrestle power from the All Progressives Congress (APC) at all levels.
Rising from its caucus meeting held at the ASAA Pyramid Hotel, Kaduna, the party stalwarts reaffirmed their total commitment to the unity and progress of the PDP ahead of critical bye-elections in the state.
According to the communiqué issued on Monday, the meeting declared unconditional support for the current national leadership of the PDP, including the Board of Trustees and the PDP Governors’ Forum, lauding their ongoing efforts to convene a national elective convention to reposition the party.
The state party stakeholders also throw its weight behind possible alliances or strategic partnerships being explored by the PDP’s emerging national leadership after the proposed convention, aimed at dislodging the APC from power at the federal and state levels.
“As a party in Kaduna State, we are united, we are focused, and we have resolved to work harmoniously for the success of PDP candidates in the three constituencies where bye-elections are imminent, as well as in all future contests,” the communiqué read in part.
