PDP chairmen vow to learn from past mistakes, unite for victory in Lagos
By Sodiq Adelakun
The Lagos State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has vowed to rejuvenate itself and give the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) a shock in future elections in the state, starting from the Local Government Elections next year.
Comrade Daniel Alao, Chairman of PDP LGAs’ Secretaries in Lagos State, made this vow at a special meeting held in the state and supported by Hon. Zamani Hassan Muhammed and Hon. Olubankole Omojola Wellington.
Alao said, “This is the time for us to come together to win Lagos for the good of both indigenes and residents living and doing their legitimate businesses in the state.”
He charged all elders and leaders of the party in Lagos State to stand up for justice and support the move to ensure victory for all PDP candidates in the upcoming elections.
Alao particularly urged all Board of Trustee (BOT) and National Working Committee (NWC) members, as well as all the party’s powers that be, to sheath their swords for the party’s progress.
He said, “My fellow Secretaries, as the sole administrators of the party, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) across the LGAs in Lagos State, the reason why we have converged here today is to look into the crisis that has befallen the party from the Federal level to the state level.”
Alao admitted that every party had its crisis but quickly asserted that everyone had learnt from their mistakes ahead of the coming local government poll.
He said, “We all know that there is no party without its own crisis. I agree that there were internal factors and disagreements. However, the 2023 election was an election that would have determined the victory of our party, but we had some people who, because of their own selfish ambitions, did not think about the masses.”
Alao expressed confidence that the PDP would win the majority of the LGAs chairmanship polls in 2025, saying, “If we don’t claim the majority, I can tell you that our voice will puncture the existing system.”
