The Chairman therefore appealed to all PDP members across Plateau State to remain resolute, united and absolutely loyal to the party and show commitment in following all principles and ideals of the party in order to raise the party higher.
He cautions, “The goat that ventures into the lions’ den will not live to tell the story of what transpired”.
The Coalition of PDP Patriots is a voluntary group of party members with membership from all the Local Government Areas of Plateau State under the leadership of the immediate past Speaker of the Plateau State House of Assembly, Rt Hon Titus Alams.
He said the visit to the party secretariat was to show solidarity with the leadership of the PDP under the duly elected Sango-led EXCO.
