We Are Open to Merging – PDP PDP

The Peoples Democratic Party has noted that it was open to merging with other political parties that agree with its ideals, while stressing that it is not contemplating changing its identity, and derailing from the vision of its founding fathers remains timeless.

According to a report by PUNCH:
In statement by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh, in Abuja on Sunday – It said:

“having been the guardian of Nigerian democracy for 16 years during which it nurtured and blossomed democratic governance as well as etched its name in the pantheon of good governance, the PDP will not in the circumstance of ephemeral loss of power change its identity or its time-honoured characteristic values.”

“We have a name, tradition and values. Sixteen fruitful years as the guardian of Nigerian democracy cannot be nullified by the reason of a temporary setback. We shall rise beyond all and regain our rhythm.
“Our colour remains green, white and red and power still belongs to the people. And to assert that we are proud of the successes of our successive leaders in taking Nigeria to its present height is an understatement, which the passage of the next four years under the All Progressives Congress will certainly prove.”
The party added that the fact that it was going into opposition would not mitigate its ability as the flagship of democracy, maintaining that it would soar higher in providing credible alternative as a constructive opposition, “far removed from the wrathful destruction that the APC lived thus far.”
