The Peoples Democratic Party in Ebonyi State has elected Peter Nwele as its new chairman.
Nwele has pledged to rebuild the party and restore its former glory.
Nwele’s key objective is to reconcile and reunite party members who left due to internal conflicts. He aims to reestablish the party’s dominance in the state, according to Peoples Gazette.
The PDP’s national vice chairman for the South-East region expressed confidence in the party’s future, citing the high turnout of delegates at the election.
The election was conducted peacefully and transparently, with officials from the Independent National Electoral Commission and security agencies in attendance.
Nwele’s leadership is expected to play a crucial role in revitalizing the PDP’s presence in Ebonyi State.
He said, “We owe a paramount duty to our great party. We are going to bring back the lost glory of our party. And in doing this, we are going to embark on a mission to bring back all the aggrieved members who left the party due to one offence or the other. We all know that Ebonyi is a PDP dominant state and the story has not changed. We will embark on reconciliation because the party is large enough to contain everyone.’’
“What we are doing is that we are putting our house in order, getting our acts together to wrest power from the ruling APC. My advice to the new leadership in the state is to go about building the party, helping to reconcile every interest because in partisan politics there is bound to be diverse interests. The ability to bring those interests together is what makes the party stronger.
“An implosion awaits the other parties. This is PDP, we will open our arms and whoever wants to come in, we will welcome him back into the fold,” the PDP chieftain said.
