Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Bayelsa State, under the leadership of acting state Chairman, George Turnah, has commended the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike and the G5 members for their decisive leadership and commitment to the survival and unity of the party as evidenced in the recent meeting convened in Abuja on June 9.
The party in a statement by its publicity secretary, Derri Alasuote Wright noted that the meeting, which brought together eminent leaders and concerned stakeholders of the party, was a testament to the unwavering love Wike has for the PDP and his relentless fight for justice against impunity.
According to the party, Wike’s dedication to the party’s principles stands him out and has endeared him to all genuinely committed members of the party nationwide.
Wright, while praising the FCT minister for championing the cause of unity and integrity within PDP, declared that he stood by the resolutions reached at the meeting.
The statement read in part: “We fully endorse the resolutions reached at the meeting, and as a state chapter, we stand by the recognition of Senator Samuel Anyanwu as the National Secretary of the PDP, and to state that there is no vacancy requiring any replacement whatsoever.
“Our party’s constitution and the recent Supreme Court decision regarding the National Secretary issue are very clear and unambiguous in this regard.
“As a state chapter, we stand united with the rest of our eminent leaders and concerned stakeholders across the Federation in the decision to zone the presidential ticket of our party for the upcoming 2027 elections to the Southern region. This strategic move does not just demonstrate our commitment to inclusivity and fairness. It also does ensure that our party remains attuned to the voices of all Nigerians.”
