PDP will bring desired change in 2023 – Bayelsa gov, Diri
Governor Douye Diri of Bayelsa State has said the Peoples Democratic Party will bring about the desired change Nigerians are yearning for in 2023.
Diri also advocated the strengthening of the PDP at all levels in order to take power from the ruling All Progressives Congress at the centre in the 2023 general elections.
In a statement on Thursday by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Daniel Alabrah, the governor noted that the PDP was the only reliable alternative party that could provide purposeful leadership at this point in time.
Diri, who decried the worsening insecurity in the country, said it behoved on the PDP to rescue the nation.
He said, “Nigeria is ripe enough for change. We have experienced the change that the APC brought and now it is time to change the change.
“PDP is the only veritable and reliable alternative party for now. So, you and I have been given the mandate to rescue this nation. We have the best times to bounce back to the national scene.
“Our appeal is that the APC should allow the people to determine who becomes their president in 2023. We don’t want Nigeria to go down,” he said.
Diri also cautioned that the party and country’s interests should be placed above personal considerations in the choice of a presidential candidate, noting that political power should be utilised to positively impact lives as it was ephemeral.
On the proposed use of electronic registration of party members, he urged the zonal leadership to prevail on the national leadership to kick-start the process.
While commending the zonal leadership for its role in getting Edo back into the PDP fold, Diri said South-South would remain a stronghold of the party.
