The Bayelsa State Governor, Henry Seriake Dickson has called on the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to brace up and lead other opposition parties in the country to oust the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) from power in 2019.
Dickson, who is also Chairman of the PDP Reconciliation Committee gave the charge on Wednesday night while presenting the report of his Committee to the party’s National Chairman, Prince Uche Secondus at the party’s national secretariat in Abuja.
While thanking the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) for exhibiting true leadership qualities, Dickson said the mammoth crowd at the recent rally of the party in Jigawa State was an indication that the days of the APC in power were coming to an end.
Dickson said: “PDP National Working Committee members must be temperate, not join issues with ourselves and even those who left the party. The manifest destiny of PDP is to lead a broad-based coalition to sack APC and to achieve this, everybody is important and must be brought on board because the umbrella is large enough for all.”
While commending the members of the Committee for their selfless services to the party and commitment to building a viral party, Dickson said the Committee would stop at nothing to ensure that the nation was salvaged and released from the grip of the APC.
According to Dickson, the Reconciliatory Committee recommended that the PDP returns the party to the people, constitute all its standing committees, deliberately carve out responsibilities and positions for women and youths, give a sense of belonging to the South-West leaders in the party and most importantly, lead a coalition of other opposition parties to win more states and form a government at the centre.
Receiving the report, Secondus thanked Governor Dickson and his committee for a wonderful job and pledged to implement all the recommendations of the committee.
Secondus said since the ruling APC has become a threat to national security, the leadership of the PDP has also declared to galvanize Nigerians to displace the APC in the 2019 elections.
