The Peoples Democractic Party (PDP) in Adamawa has organised a one day stakeholders meeting to ensure that the ongoing e-registration of the party, as well as the
Independent Electoral commission (INEC) in the state are well participated by it’s members.
Addressing the stakeholders in the Banquet Hall, Government House, Yola, the state chairman of PDP, Barrister Tahir Shehu, stated that the turn out for the ongoing e-registration by INEC in Adamawa was not encouraging hence the need for all eligible party supporters to come out and get registered.
Barrister Shehu charged all party leaders at local government and ward levels in the state to open up and embrace new members who indicate interest to join the PDP so as to enable the party to continue to wax stronger in Adamawa.
Even as the party says the Defection of Senator Folashade Jackson Bent from the party to the oppossion party in the state will have no effect on the fortunes of PDP.
The Senator representing Adamawa South senatorial zone where Sen. Bent left in the National Assembly, Binos Dauda Yaro said there is no need for any worry as the party (PDP) is more than ready to consolidate on the success it achieved in 2019 from the zone.
While reaffirming his membership of the PDP, he called on the party supporters to sensitize people on the ongoing e-registrations.
Sen. Dauda stressed the need for party leaders, stakeholders and members to unite and restrategize in tandem with the PDP constitution to rebuild the party ahead of 2023 general elections in the country.
Meanwhile, the state of the party, Barrister AT Shuhu directed the selected ten party members from each of the two hundred and twenty six political wards in the state comprising former elected and serving leaders to join a stakeholders forum to strengthen the party.
To curb the challenges faced by the PDP with illiterate political agents at the previous elections, the state chairman directed party leaders at the local government level to provide three names of literate card carrying members of the party at each political ward for the job.
He announced the selection of Alhaji Auwal Tukur as the new Board of Trustee BOT member, replacing Senator Grace Jackson Bent who defected from the PDP to the All progressives Congress APC in Adamawa.
Sen. Dauda stressed the need for party leaders, stakeholders and members to unite and restrategize in tandem with the PDP constitution to rebuild the party ahead of 2023 general elections in the country.
