From Ndubuisi Orji, Abuja
PDP youth leaders in the 36 states and Federal Capital Territory (FCT) have expressed support for the decision of NEC to hold the national convention on November 15 and 16, in Ibadan, Oyo State.
The youth leaders, who also expressed support for the PDP National Zoning Committee led by Bayelsa State Governor, Diri Douye, said they were committed to the success of the convention.
Chairman of the PDP Youth Leaders Forum and Gombe State PDP Youth Chairman, Jamilu Ali kalshingi, who spoke on behalf of his colleagues, after a meeting in Abuja, said the views of any single member cannot supersede the decision of the party organ.
“As you can see from this gathering, PDP youths are of the belief that the party is ready to take over power from the ruling All Progressives Party (APC). “Secondly, we would like to assure Nigerians that the youths of this country, especially this forum, are ready to work with our leaders, especially our governors and the NWC, and commend them for their hard work and dedication to see that this party works for all Nigerians.
“We are solidly with the leaders of our party as it concerns the coming convention and zoning of party offices. We are with the officials of the party concerning the last NEC meeting that agreed on the convention.
“We, the youths are the foot soldiers of the party, we are with the decision of the party, we support the zoning committee, we support the convention dates, and we assure Nigerians that this convention will hold, and nobody and nothing will stop it from holding this convention.
“The NEC and the other organs of the party have spoken. The Governors Forum, the NWC, have taken a decision, and we the youth of the party are in support of the National Working Committee. I can tell you the organs of the party have spoken and nothing will change that decision.”
