The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Governors Forum says the party remains the only viable democratic institution and alternative for restoring the country on the path of good governance and national development.
The Forum’s Chairman, Bala Mohammed, made the call while briefing newsmen on the outcome of the Forum’s 7th meeting of 2025 in Gusau, the Zamfara State capital.
According to Governor Mohammed, the Forum extensively deliberated on the state of the nation, security situation, erosion of democratic values and preparations for the forthcoming national convention.
The Bauch State Governor said the party is resolute to rescuing Nigeria from the APC’s divisive governance style, which has continued to inflict hardship on the people.
He commended PDP leaders and members for their resilience in overcoming the orchestrated string of defections.
Mohammed argued that PDP’s grassroots appeal remains in the face of growing public demand for the return of affordable living and relative security witnessed under the PDP.
Remain steadfast
The Governor appealed to members, supporters and the general public to remain steadfast in upholding the vision and principles of the PDP despite alleged increasing intimidation of the opposition by the APC-led government.
“This sad situation should only be seen as the sign of desperation by a political party with no agenda, no vision, and doomed to inevitable rejection by the masses,” he stated.
Governor Mohammed further revealed that, the Forum had reaffirmed its full commitment to the resolutions of the PDP’s 101st National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting of July 2025 regarding the November 15 National Convention.
He called on party members to resist attempts by anti-party forces to derail the exercise.
On security matters, the Forum commended the Zamfara State Government’s efforts in curbing insecurity.
He however, condemned continued killings in Katsina, Plateau, Niger, Benue, and other states, urging the Federal Government to be more responsive in protecting lives and property.
The PDP Governors also condemned alleged over-militarization of the August 9 nationwide bye-elections, which he said were marred by irregularities, vote buying, and violence.
They called on Nigerians to be vigilant in protecting their votes.
