PDP reacts to emergence of factional group

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has reacted to the emergence of a factional group insisting it will not be distracted by it.

 In a statement on Wednesday, December 20 by the party’s publicity secretary, Kola Ologbondinyan, the PDP said it was unperturbed by the development.

The party claimed that the factional group was being used by forces outside the PDP and expressed optimism that the Uche Secondus leadership will continue to work for the growth of the party.

Read statement from the PDP:

The PDP is completely unperturbed by the comical act of some individuals who make outlandish claims in the media regarding our party.

The fact is that we are happy with the efforts of the Governor Seriake Dickson-led Reconciliation Committee as well as the responses from all the respectable and responsible leaders of our party in that regard.

"We will however not be responsible or respond to any person or groups of individuals who decide to allow themselves to be used by forces from another political party in a laughable and childish attempt to distract us.

"The PDP under the Prince Uche Secondus-led national leadership will continue to focus on repositioning our great party to be the formidable opposition that will guarantee checks and balances in our polity and ultimately regain power in 2019.
