This support from the national members will not only strengthen the political structure of the party but reinvigorate and rekindle the unity of the party generally.

Similarly, this gesture would no doubt give the zone a sense of togetherness, unity, and presence, We in Nasarawa State are not only feeling abandoned despite the sacrifice of our leader, Walid Jibrin.

He said supporting Nasarawa is a legitimate, expedient, and record-setting outlook. It is neither personal nor sentimental. It is party interest and expediency in the distribution of political positions within. It is internal democracy. 

Conclusively, I called on the National Executive Committee of our great Party to take a critical appraisal of the leadership structure to maintain its disposition of amicable resolutions of issues within the party.

Given the fact that the Party has existed for over 24 years with States such as Benue, Plateau, Kogi,  Kwara others in the North-Central geo-political zone occupying the seat of National Chairman of the PDP at different epochs except  Nasarawa, every party member would agree therefore, that in determining the next party leadership, Nasarawa requires to be considered in the ongoing party National leadership discussion since most of the State in the regions have had their deserved chance to contribute to the spirit and evolution of the party as it stands presently. 

It is equity, it is fair, and it is achievable, This support from the national members will not only strengthen the political structure of the party.

How this process is handled will sign-post the future of PDP and its politics at all levels. At this point, it is pertinent to again note that Nasarawa State deserves strategic accommodation in what would become the present or future outlook of the party to enable supporters to believe in their consistent choice of relationship with the PDP despite the saddening activities of outsider influence on the outcome of elections in Nasarawa State.

This time, next time, the party will surely depend on the lessons learned and the experience gained. The immense contributions of Nasarawa PDP to the growth of the Party in the State and the nation are both legendary and milestone. 

Let it be on record at this moment that the Nasarawa State Chapter of the party made a historic sacrifice when its leadership and leader Senator Walid Jibrin opted out by taking  Nasarawa State along to relinquish the only non-executive but highest advisory position of the Chairman Board of Trustees because of Sen iyochiya Ayu nomination as national chairman from her Neighbor, Benue State to have more acceptability nationally and in the interest of the party unity and for peace to reign.

Since the return of Democracy in 1999, the People’s Democratic Party ( PDP) has remained resolute in promoting internal democracy and equity despite all odds. 

This unwavering commitment to the ideals of political party structure made the PDP stand out amongst other Parties not only in Nigeria but in the African continent, The leadership structure of the PDP at the national and sub-national levels over these years reflects the wisdom and dreams of the founding fathers of the Party. 

As the party takes bold steps to reposition, reform, and perform its role as the leading opposition and biggest party in Africa, the world would be interested in the party’s preparation for the future of politics in Nigeria which cannot be said to be complete without the veritable contributions of the PDP. 

However, this will begin with how its officials would emerge Noting existing vacancies and the next historic and State Chapter congress.
