A pro-PDP group, under the aegis of Bala Agents’ Mandate, has urged former Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi, and former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, to return to their political roots in the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
The group said Amaechi and Obi should join forces with Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State to rebuild a strong and united opposition party. The State Coordinator of the group, Amadi Chijioke, at a press briefing in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital, on Monday, advised both men to shelve plans of forming a new opposition coalition, stressing that such a move would only weaken the fight to rescue Nigeria from alleged misrule and democratic backsliding.
Supporting the call, the National Coordinator of the group, Habib Musa, lauded the PDP Governors’ Forum led by Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed as the most formidable and credible structure currently holding the party together. According to him, the Forum has remained a symbol of unity and accountability amidst rising political uncertainties, faulting the recent defections of the governors of Delta and Akwa Ibom States to the All Progressives Congress, APC.
