The Minority Leader of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the House of Representatives, Ndudi Elumelu, has called on leaders of the party to relieve Nigerians of the sufferings imposed on them by the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, by showing commitment and sacrificing personal ambition for the party’s victory in the next general election.
Elumelu noted that the “resolutions of the party in its last NEC meeting of August 28, 2021, with the resilience and commitment of leaders and all party members in a very challenging period, affirms Nigerians believe in the PDP as the only viable option to rescue the country at this critical time”.
While commending all organs of the party for a job well done, the Minority Leader maintained that it is ‘not yet Uhuru’ and beckoned on all members to be even more united in jettisoning all personal interests and assuming a more nationalistic approach in all decisions and discourses so as to provide Nigerians with the much-needed platform to forcefully rally for the task ahead.
Elumelu described the suffering experienced by Nigerians under the leadership of the APC as “unimaginable” and “nightmarish” that is only out to pillage, plunder, and suppress the people.
He urged party leaders to ensure an end to the mindless killings, terrorism, banditry, economic hardship, poverty, and utter hopelessness that the APC has brought to the country, saying that the assurance of security and a return to a life of unity, peace, national cohesion, and economic prosperity is in returning the PDP to power.
Elumelu charged every member of the party to make sacrifices as they move towards the forthcoming national convention so that competent national officers who will lead the party to victory in 2023 will be elected.
