The National Expanded Caucus of the Peoples Democratic Party​ (PDP) on Monday night, met in Abuja, with an agreement to rebuild the party​ as it prepares for its national convention.



It is said to be the first gathering of members of the party since the Supreme Court sacked the Senator Ali Modu Sheriff-led national working committee ​last Wednesday.



​In attendance were former President Goodluck Jonathan; ​Chairman of the party’s National Caretaker Committee, Makarfi​ ​and Chairman of the PDP Governors’ Forum, Ayodele Fayose.



While speaking at the event, ​Jonathan told the gathering, which included Deputy President of the Senate, Ike Ekweremadu; a former President of the Senate, David Mark; and governors of Rivers, Taraba, Akwa Ibom, Delta, Gombe states​,​ that a strong party would attract the people.



“First thing to do is to build the party because a strong party is the key to expansion. A strong party acts like a magnet and will attract all the people. Nigerians still believe in the PDP.



”​So many people including non-politicians were happy at the PDP victory in Supreme Court,” Jonathan said.


The former President insisted that the PDP remained the largest party that could unite the country.


He ​said​ that his presence was to appreciate members of the PDP, adding that the party passed through some challenges and came out of them peacefully.



In his remarks, Makarfi commended the members of the party for “being unyielding in their faith on the judicial system.”



He said members of other political parties were already planning to defect to the PDP, but said he would not mention their names and where they would be coming from.



“This hall will not contain us by the time they start to come back to the PDP. I will not tell you who they are or where they are,” the former governor of Kaduna State said.



​In his remark, Fayose said: ​“The APC must die so that the PDP can rise. Old change will give way for a new change. Now the coast is clear, all the party leaders should go home and work for the PDP.



“If this party must win, get Nigerians’ confidence restored, our leaders must go home to boost the party.



“If this party must return to power, we need to get the confidence of Nigerians.”

Wasted effort.

una try

Nice.

Put your house in order. Calm all nerves and tempers.

Present an unbeatable blueprint on how to move the Nation forward.

Present a credible candidate and a Deputy like Peter Obi.

Then cease power in 2019.

Though out these hypocrites that have only succeeded in making Nigeria worse since 2015.

APC here we come

APC is just a one night stand with an olosho giving you Hiv

Nigeria knows better

APC won't like this..while they're stuck at the cemetry, PDP is flying higher from one wave to the next..Chai

I see only one person, capable of taking we Nigerians to the Promise land.

There is simply no other person but Ngozi okonjo-iweala

If I'm you POD, I will go shop for her.

All this that is happening to Nigeria now she said it and wanted to remove fuel subsidies but we all refused.

PDP, my advise to u is, simply go for Ngozi okonjo-iweala.

Good luck

At least we Hv an opposition in our politics, unlike wat Apc craved for(one party system) We will get Der someday.

GEJ is already blessed with wisdom and it is only wisdom that can launch the PDP back to prominence.

GEJ has all it takes.

Welcome PDP the political party that can unite the country unlike the useless APC that within six month, pushed Nigeria to the brink

like seriously! we the youth are in soup! same old gays Wana rule us till we die. mtscheew

Sure it's everything they discussed?


Are we in the Caucus meeting?

I just tire for Nigerian Politics, we don't need to dwell on too many political parties anymore.

We just need strong-willed, good and unbiased leaders to take over.

Wonderful party

PDP shud go and sit ,gej shud respect himself

Never abuse ya elders so that ye shall grow old

If they can present a blueprint and keep their house in other, they will win. Pdp government was better in terms of performance than what we have today. Hunger does not discriminate. Pdp or Apc, North or South. We need alternative to Apc

pelumi111:
Never abuse ya elders so that ye shall grow old

Is that idiat an elder, elder way no respect himself that onrr na elder?

Cant wait to see pdp start providing sound oppoisition,but should have restructuring at the back of their minds else nigerians wont trust them
