The new National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Dr. Iyorchia Ayu has set a tall order for his party ahead of the 2023 general elections in Nigeria.
Ayu on Sunday said the PDP will win at least 25 states and a majority of the seats in the National Assembly.
He made the declaration at a Thanksgiving Service/Reception held in his honour at the Aper-Aku Stadium in Makurdi, the Benue State capital following his inauguration on Friday.
Ayu on Sunday said the practice of politicians dumping the PDP for other parties would also be stopped.
“We are determined to reclaim at least 25 states in this country.
“We determined to claim the two national assembly seats – Senate and House of Assembly.
“We will stop the drift of people who migrated from the PDP to other parties.
“We shall move on a serious drive for more people in the party,” he said.
The PDP national chairman stated that reclaiming the lost seats will start from the governorship elections in Ekiti and Osun states which the party plans to win by fighting tooth and nail.
He added that the PDP has learnt from its past mistakes and is determined to recover lost grounds.
“Nigeria is not going to break up. Nigeria will remain united, productive, respected, and be at the forefront of world affairs.
“Every single member of the PDP will be carried along.
“It is the only way we shall rebuild our party. The PDP will fight tooth and nail to win Ekiti and Osun elections.
“Those mistakes which made us lose the election in the past will be corrected,” Ayu added.
