COMMUNIQUE ISSUED AT THE END OF THE MEETING OF PDP GOVERNORS’ FORUM HELD IN ABUJA ON TUESDAY, 31ST OCTOBER, 2023.

The PDP Governors’ Forum held a meeting under the leadership of H.E Governor Bala Mohammed, CON, at the Oyo State Governor’s Lodge in Abuja on Tuesday, 31st October, 2023.

2. The Forum deliberated on issues of concern to the Forum, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the nation and reached the following conclusions:

i. The meeting noted the recent judgement of the Supreme Court on the 2023 Presidential Election and believes that this brings an end to the Presidential election cycle as there must be an end to litigation. As a Forum, we believe and re-state our faith and confidence in the judiciary to do justice in political and other cases before the Courts. We are concerned that while the Supreme Court has laid down precedents on pre-election issues, PDP candidates in Plateau State are being disqualified on the same grounds. We urge the judiciary at the apex level to ensure that our jurisprudence is not distorted. We remain vigilant in the struggle for democracy and good governance in the country.

ii. The meeting vowed to reposition and strengthen PDP as a viable opposition political party ready and willing to play its role as the vanguard of the Nigerian people for democracy, good governance and accountability.

orohbirodeysmel:
Bala Mohammed hate Atiku die, if not for one thing, he nearly joined the G5 then.

So he his saying all these to pepper Atiku whose greed and pride cost PDP 2023 Presidential elections

As for those saying PDP should suspend Wike, it is Atiku they will even suspend and kick out of the party if he no behave himself. Atiku is a liability to PDP...even Obi is more useful in an election than Atiku...Obi locked a whole region in the elections and put key in his pocket and even penetrated NC and SS...

Atiku just a political mistake, I don't even know who carry him come politics.
