The former National Chairman South West of the People’s Democratic Party, Dr Eddy Olafeso, has said that the party would bounce back in 2027.
Olafeso said this in Akure, at a One – Day seminar for Media Aides of the party’s governorship aspirants in the state.
He said that “With the future we have shared together in Peoples Democratic Party, no matter the challenges we are facing at this moment, we are very sure and confident that the future will be better and that PDP will take back power and connect to do what it did in the past to develop Nigeria.
” I am very confident that we will return.
“Part of what we are doing this moment started with an internal process of communication with ourselves and once we get that one right, once we understand our history, once we understand the fact that we need one another and that if we are not united, there will be problem ahead of us.
” We are sure that the future will take care of itself and we are very resolute and beside that, the future of Nigeria, especially the current situation that Nigerians are facing under APC can’t continue forever.
“There’s no middle class anymore, there is poverty in the Land, there is insecurity.
” Then what else can we hope for but for the support of the people that will make the PDP’s dream of creating prosperity for this country happen as quickly as possible.
Earlier, the state party chairman Hon Tola Alabere, asked the media aides to be good ambassador of the party.
Alabere said that “The main reason for this programme is to tell you that PDP is the party in Ondo State. I must tell you that I don’t see PDP as opposition party in the state because we’re supposed to be in government.
“It is PDP itself that usually worked against the party when it comes to election. We will divide ourselves after the primary and do other sought of things.
Tha chairman expressed worries over the attacks of aspirants by the media aides of the aspirants.
Alabere said that “The roles all of you are playing today is not geared towards bringing the aspirants together. What you write on social media platforms are not geared towards strengthening the party.
” If aspirant “A” should win the primary, he will need the support and cooporation of aspirants. But, the moment you come in between your principal and other aspirants, will they be ready to support him when he wins? So, you have a major role to play in uniting the party.
“I want to advise you to conserve the energy you are putting to bring down co-aspirants with your principal for APC. You didn’t see anything wrong in what APC is doing in Ondo State?
The state party chairman said that ” The major reason any political party is contesting an election is to win and this is the best opportunity for us in this state. We are more than APC in Ondo State. I want to plead with you to see this project as your project.
