PDP Ready To Get It Right In 2023 – Gov Emmanuel

By The Evangelist edition September 29, 2022.

The promptness of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to set up its campaign structure is an indication of the party’s readiness to get it right in the upcoming general elections.

Governor of Akwa Ibom State and Chairman, PDP Presidential Elections Campaign Council, Mr. Udom Emmanuel, made the assertion while fielding questions with Government House Correspondents at the Victor Attah International Airport, Uyo, upon his return from Abuja where he attended the inauguration of the Campaign Council.

The inauguration exercise less than 24hours after Nigeria’s election umpire, the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, lifted the embargo on electioneering activities, makes the PDP first to unveil its machinery for full-fledged campaigns for the nation’s topmost post.

Governor Emmanuel, earlier in his acceptance speech after the inauguration as Chairman of the PDP Presidential Council, assured PDP faithful on the return of peace to the party and explained that the 600-man council was set to work across all units and ensure victory for the party.

At the airport, Mr Emmanuel insisted that, “that PDP remains Nigeria’s only party for everybody and is ready to get it right this time.

“This is the only party we have in Nigeria, forget associations, forget unions, forget alliances. Also, PDP is party for everybody but this time around they decided to look at people like us who still have the energy to run around and that means a whole lot. I think we are getting it right this time around,” he asserted.

The PDP Campaign Council Chairman explained that what is needed to execute the election is human resources which he reaffirmed, the party has in abundance across every section of the country.

“We don’t need more than one resource which is human beings because we are everywhere all over the country. That’s all we need for elections, the people, and we have people everywhere and I think we will win”, Emmanuel asserted.

He expressed appreciation to the National Working Committee, Board of Trustees, the entire structure of PDP as well as the candidate and running mate of the party, for the confidence in him and others, urging the committee to deliver victory for the party.

He however, acknowledged that the final victory is dependent on the will of God and the choice of the people, saying “our duty is to campaign to get Nigerians to vote but victory comes from God.

“You only campaign with your power of persuasion hoping that Nigerians will vote then God gives victory”, he added.
