PDP Still Solid Despite Defections, Says Jonathan

Former President Goodluck Jonathan has said the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) remains strong and relevant to Nigeria’s democratic system despite recent defections by some members.

Jonathan described the PDP as the only surviving legacy political party since 1998, stressing its continued central role in the country’s political development. He urged party leaders to embrace unity and place national interest above personal ambitions as preparations begin for the 2027 general elections.

Meanwhile, PDP leaders said the party is actively pursuing reconciliation and strategic repositioning aimed at restoring public confidence. They also dismissed criticisms linking the party to the political crisis in Rivers State, maintaining that the PDP should not be held responsible for outcomes resulting from alliances it no longer controls.
