factionalisation within the party. This fragmentation has made it increasingly difficult to foster unity and advance the collective interests of our people.

degenerated to the lowest levels by physically fighting themselves arising from the stated factions, which have become irreconeilable

“I also deeply appreciate the platform the PDP provided me to contest the 2022/2023 senatorial election. It was an opportunity that allowed me to engage directly with the people of my constituency and present my vision for a brighter future.
