We can restore PDP's past glory - Saraki

Bukola Saraki Bukola Saraki

Former Senate President Dr. Bukola Saraki has advised against abandoning the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in a fit of anger.

This was as he urged members to remain and join the rebuilding process, saying: "Leaving PDP should not be an option. The option is being fair to everyone. We can resolve our differences and move forward."

Saraki made the appeal while addressing the Consultative Conference of Founding Fathers and Stakeholders on Wednesday in Abuja.

Top PDP stalwarts, including the interim National Chairman, Ambassador Umar Iliya Damagum, attended the event.

Saraki acknowledged internal grievances but maintained that the PDP's strength lies in its capacity to self-correct and rally around shared ideals.

"Let us agree to fix what is broken. I will never give up. I am a fighter — and I believe we can restore PDP to its past glory," he added.

In his remarks, Damagum urged PDP members who were fraternising with a coalition to either leave the party or reaffirm their membership.

"You cannot be in PDP and in coalition with another party. We cannot do this," Damagum declared. "If you are going, don't market us. Most of you actualised your political aspirations through this party. We are telling you — come back. But if you must go, do so with clarity, not duplicity."
