Senator Abba Moro, who represents Benue South and serves as Senate Minority Leader, has reaffirmed his loyalty to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), dismissing speculation about a possible defection.

Speaking on Wednesday during a consultative meeting with the PDP National Working Committee (NWC) led by Kabiru Turaki, Moro said he remains firmly committed to the party despite recent defections by some members.

According to him, neither pressure nor political intimidation would force him or other committed members out of the PDP. He stressed that he is not a desperate politician and did not join the party solely as an election platform or with a fixation on the 2027 polls.

Moro described the PDP as Nigeria’s most credible platform for democratic governance and urged the newly elected NWC to work closely with party leaders to rebuild unity and cohesion within the party.

Responding, NWC Chairman Kabiru Turaki assured that efforts are underway to reposition the PDP, saying the party’s focus is on defending democracy and offering Nigerians a viable alternative ahead of future elections.

Also speaking, PDP Board of Trustees Chairman, Adolphus Wabara, praised the successful national convention in Ibadan and pledged the BoT’s full support for the NWC, emphasizing the need for reconciliation and internal healing within the party.
