The South-South chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP has hailed President Bola Tinubu over his espousal of an inclusive government with the appointment of its top chieftains including Nyesom Wike in his government.

The chapter in a communique issued at the end of its regular executive committee meeting in Port-Harcourt, Rivers State has also charged the national leadership of the party to squarely address the crises in the Edo and Rivers States chapters of the party.

The communique issued by the South-South PDP zonal publicity secretary, Bishop Etim Ante also hailed President Tinubu for the award of the coastal road project.

The communique read thus:

In a well-attended Zonal Working Committee meeting of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) South South Geo Political Zone held at the Zonal headquarters of the Party in Port-Harcourt, Rivers State, the following resolutions were reached.

(1) The Zonal Working Committee (ZWC) notes with excitement, the commitment and superlative performance of Governors of the Party across the States of the South South Zone in delivering dividends of democracy to the people of their respective States.

(2) The Zonal Working Committee on-behalf of the entire structure and membership of the Party in the Zone, congratulates His Excellency, Governor Douye Diri of Bayelsa State and his Deputy, Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo on their electoral victory during the November 11th 2023 Governorship election in Bayelsa State and the successful swearing in and assumption of office of the Governor and Deputy Governor of Bayelsa State respectively for a second term.

(3) Further to the above, the Zonal Working Committee hailed  His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR for his decision to run an all-inclusive Government at the center, anchored on the principle of a Government of National Unity (GNU) which was introduced in 2007 by the late President Umaru Musa Ya’adua led PDP Government in Nigeria and further consolidated by the successive administration of President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan GCFR. To this end, the Party in the Zone is pleased with the appointment of several sons and daughters of the Zone into key positions of trust at the Federal level, particularly that of His Excellency Chief Ezenwo Nyesom Wike CON as Honourable Minister of the FCT.

(4) The Zonal Working Committee is pleased with the current progress being made by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration for  the execution of construction work on the very important and strategic East West Road. The Zone commends the speed at which the construction work on the road is being executed  and expresses the hope that given the importance of the road to the nation’s economy, President Tinubu should  make it a priority in seeing to the completion of the road in record time. The Zonal Working Committee also hailed President Tinubu for the award of contract for the construction of all important coastal road from Lagos to Calabar, noting that upon completion, the project has the capacity to completely transform the infrastructural landscape and positively impact the economic fortunes of the Zone and Nigeria at large.

(5) The Zonal Working Committee is concerned and worried about the lingering crisis in Edo State, which is a fallout of pre and post party primaries processes handled by the National Working Committee of the Party. The Zone is conscious of the negative effect of the crisis on the upcoming Gubernatorial elections in the State, coupled with the leadership crises  between His Excellency Governor Godwin Obasake and his Deputy, His Excellency Rt. Hon. Philip Shaibu.

To this end, the Zonal Working Committee calls on the Iliya Damagu led National Working Committee to resolve the political issues in Edo State and further calls on the Party’s BOT & NEC to urgently  intervene with a view to resolving all internal  disputes in Edo State Peoples Democratic Party.

(6) The Zonal Working Committee also examined the volatile political situation in Rivers State and expresses deep concern that the landmark  achievement by the Party in the State should not be compromised in the altar of dirty politics. The Zone therefore called on National Working Committee of the Party steps to address the matter without further delay.

(7)The Zonal Working Committee considered and approved the proposal to build a befitting permanent secretariat / headquarters structure in Port Harcourt, Rivers State. To this end, the Zonal Working Committee approved the constitution of a five man committee to work out modalities and report to the Zonal Executive Committee (ZEC) which shall be held in the second quarter of the year for ratification.

(8)The Zonal Working Committee considered and approved various programmes targeted at enhancing strategic communications to aid good governance, organise retreat for party leadership structure, and organise conference to boost the capacities of women and youths across the Zone to be more economically conscious and politically relevant, especially in the face of the biting economic hardship in the Country. Accordingly, the Zone calls on Government at all levels to take urgent and practical steps in ending the current economic hardship and ameliorate the sufferings being experienced by the Nigerian masses.

(9) The Zonal Working Committee reiterates it commitment to continue to work in harmony with existing party structures across the Zone and to liaise effectively with the National Working Committee of the party for the stability, unity and progress of the Party as well as instil sanity and promote discipline in the party.

(10) Members applauded the courage and the sterling leadership qualities of the National Vice Chairman of the Party in the Zone, Chief Dan Osi Orbih, and accordingly urged him close ranks and be more committed  in strengthening the party in the Zone and beyond for greater results.
