A prominent member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Engr. Utaan Terhide Conrad, has declared that the party is on a sure path to resurgence following recent strategic developments within its leadership structure.
In a personally signed statement issued on Wednesday, Utaan praised the party's renewed commitment to unity, stability, and internal reconciliation, highlighting two significant developments that signal the PDP's revival.
The statement comes after the inauguration of the Dr. Bukola Saraki-led Reconciliation Committee and the appointment of former Benue State Governor, Chief Samuel Ortom, to the party's Board of Trustees (BOT).
"I wish to congratulate His Excellency, Chief Samuel Ortom, the Leader of the Peoples Democratic Party in Benue State and the immediate past Governor of the state, on his inauguration as a distinguished member of the Board of Trustees of our great party," Utaan stated.
Describing Ortom's BOT membership as a strategic development, he added: "Chief Ortom's membership of the PDP BOT attests to his commitment, visionary leadership, and invaluable contributions to the PDP. I am confident that he will bring his wealth of experience to bear, and his presence on the BOT will serve as a catalyst for the continued growth, stability, and unity of the PDP across the country."
Utaan also commended the PDP National Working Committee for constituting a 7-member Reconciliation Committee chaired by former Senate President Dr. Bukola Saraki, calling it a "bold and commendable step towards reconciliation and renewal."
"This initiative demonstrates the party's sincere commitment to healing internal divisions, fostering unity among members, and laying a solid foundation for a robust and resilient PDP," he emphasized.
According to Utaan, these recent appointments and strategic moves reflect a clear intent to reposition the party for success ahead of future elections. "I believe that such proactive measures will invigorate our party's structures, rekindle the enthusiasm of our members, and position the PDP for greater success in the near future."
The PDP stalwart reaffirmed his loyalty and commitment to the party, urging members nationwide to rally around the leadership's efforts. "I encourage other party members in the 36 states and the FCT to remain resilient, ready to sacrifice, and willing to make concessions towards repositioning the PDP as the preferred platform for Nigeria's progress and prosperity," he added.
Utaan concluded his statement with prayers for divine guidance upon the party and its mission: "May the Almighty God continue to guide and strengthen our great party. Long live the Peoples Democratic Party! Long live Nigeria!"
These developments come at a critical time for the PDP as it seeks to rebuild and strengthen its position in Nigeria's political landscape following recent electoral challenges.
