A myriad of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) affiliated support groups have endorsed what it described as the “magnetic leadership” of the minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike.
The groups on Friday in Abuja also expressed unanimous confidence in the leadership of Acting National Chairman, Umar Damagum.
The groups including the Coalition of PDP groups, Coalition of Northern youth groups, Nigeria Democratic Defense Project, Nigeria Citizens Watch for Good Governance, and Coalition of FCT Abuja groups, declared their loyalty to Wike’s leadership.
They also validated the decision to have Damagum at the helm of the party’s National Executive Committee (NEC) until September 2024.
The spokesperson for the united support groups, Onwe Ogezi, said, “We are gathered here in a historic affirmation of our steadfast belief in the leadership of the incomparable Nyesom Wike. His strategic foresight and dedication to the core values of our party resonate with us profoundly, fostering a unity that is both rare and vital in today’s political climate.”
Pointing out the “magnetic leadership” of Wike, Ogezi said: “The unwavering faith of our party members in Nyesom Wike’s vision is a testament to his unassailable dedication to the PDP. Since 1999, Wike has remained a loyal party man, never wavering in his commitment, unlike others who have intermittently departed our ranks.”
