GEJ Encouraged PDP Members Ahead Of Off-Season Elections – Turaki

Goodluck Jonathan

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has taken its festering leadership crisis to former President Goodluck Jonathan. Members of the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) recently held a closed-door meeting with him in Abuja to seek guidance, reassurance and direction at a critical moment for the opposition party.

According to Taminu Turaki, the delegation met with Jonathan to formally introduce members of the newly elected NWC and brief him on the party’s activities since the National Convention held last November.

He added that GEJ’s response was reassuring and encouraging as the party prepares for off-season elections.

His words, “We came to see former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, first to introduce members of the newly elected National Working Committee to him, and then to brief him on what we have been doing since our election at the National Convention held last November.

In the meeting, we briefed him on the state of the party, the challenges and the prospects.

He assured us that he is still a card-carrying member of the Peoples Democratic Party, remains active, and will be even more active in the activities and affairs of the PDP.

His remarks and statements were not only reassuring but very encouraging as we prepare for off-season elections, elections in Ekiti this year, and the general elections coming up in 2027.

I want to assure members of the public, and indeed members of the PDP family, that the PDP remains the most viable platform for contesting and winning elections in Nigeria. We remain the leading opposition party in this country.

Part of the challenges are the legal battles we are facing. Notwithstanding these issues, he (Jonathan) still believes, just like all of us do, that the PDP is the party for Nigerians.”

WOW.
