The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the early hours of Sunday concluded its scheduled October 30, 2021, elective National convention with the emergence of former Senate President, Dr Iyorchia Ayu as its National Chairman.
The new National Chairman of the party declared that the PDP is now positioned and ready to take back power from the All Progressives Congress (APC) that has taken the country to an unacceptable level.
This was shortly after Chairman of the Convention Organising Committee and Governor of Adamawa State, Hon. Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri presented members of the next National Working Committee of the PDP.
In spite of the fact that nearly all the positions 21 national offices were returned through consensus arrangement with the exception of the Deputy National Chairman (South), 3,600 accredited delegates voted for the new members of the NWC of the PDP at the convention.
Ayu while thanking party members for the confidence reposed on him and members of the new NWC, assured that the new PDP leadership will rescue Nigeria from the ‘terrible mess’ it has been in the past six years.
In the words of Ayu; “I want to sincerely appreciate the PDP family. Today is simply a thank you address. When we started this party 23 – 24 years ago, we never in any way imagined that the journey will get us to this stage – a stage where we ruled for 16 years, we went into rough times but for anybody who will bother to see, PDP is back.
“And it is back to rescue Nigeria from the terrible mess we have been in the last six years. I want to appreciate all of you who have taken time as delegates, as observers, as supporters, as members of the media, as members of the security services, who have made this event such a wonderful event,” he enthused.
