The PDP Presidential Campaign Council Chairman is committed to forging a united front within the party, writes Ugochi Okonkwo
In the midst of the confounding conundrum, Akwa Ibom State Governor, Udom Emmanuel, a loyal and dedicated party man maintains an unbiased and courageous position between the warring factions. All he wants is for the party to forge a united front to defeat the ruling All Progressives Congress in the 2023 general elections. In doing this, Governor Emmanuel anchors his truce mission on truth.
“Even spoons and plates hit themselves and create a lot of noise; that doesn’t mean they’ve broken. I think that is the situation here. For the fact that people are unhappy, it is inevitable, definitely inevitable, with a large party like PDP. “I say I’m not looking at any permutation. I’m going into this with optimism, because if I’m going with a permutation, it means I shouldn’t be the chairman of the campaign council. I’m going with optimism. I would not have accepted being the chairman if I was not optimistic that I’m going to win. So, we are in the race to win. There’s no permutation in this case at all”.
He has been very vocal at presidential rallies across the country. From Lagos to Bauchi, Abuja and other locations, Governor Emmanuel has been canvassing for votes for the PDP flagbearer and all candidates of the party in the 2023 elections. Governor Wike and Udom Emmanuel were both contenders at the PDP presidential primaries. The Rivers State Governor has tremendous respect for him, describing the meeting as convivial. He said: “Politics is not what will divide brothers and divide friends. Everybody knows my relationship with Udom, and we will continue to maintain that relationship. We may have different political affiliation or thinking, that should not divide the brotherly love or create a gap among us.
