Senate Minority Leader Abba Moro has said individuals who resisted reconciliation within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have exited the party, creating an opportunity for loyal members to rebuild ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Speaking at the party’s convention in Abuja, Moro noted that the internal crisis that once troubled the PDP had largely been resolved, as many of those opposed to peace had departed.
He questioned the current number of PDP governors compared to the past, suggesting that those who declined reconciliation had “abandoned the ship” to committed members determined to reposition the party.
The Benue South senator described the development as a turning point, expressing confidence that the remaining members were now focused on building a stronger and more united party.
Moro also commended the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, for his role in stabilising the party and facilitating the convention, describing his commitment as instrumental to the ongoing rebuilding process.
He said the convention would usher in a new leadership capable of restoring confidence among members and positioning the PDP for future elections.
According to him, the moment requires decisive action from stakeholders, urging members to unite and work with the party’s caretaker committee and incoming executives to strengthen its structure.
Moro expressed optimism that the PDP would regain its footing, attract former members, and emerge as a competitive political force ahead of the 2027 polls.
He added that the party’s ultimate goal is to rebuild in line with the vision of its founding fathers and secure electoral victories in the next general elections.
