The Senate caucus of the People’s Democratic Party PDP has assured its members and supporters throughout the country that contrary to insinuations that the party is in shreds and on the verge of collapse, saying it will surely wax stronger.

Speaking through Senator Abba Moro, they urged members of the PDP nationwide to remain steadfast in their commitment, loyalty, and dedication, adding that the upcoming activities being planned by the party leadership would bring new life and direction that would reposition it as a competitive force in future elections.

The caucus warned against the growing tendency to celebrate the weakening of opposition parties, stressing that such a trend threatens democratic governance and tilts the country dangerously towards a one-party system.

“The beauty of democracy lies in the existence of robust opposition to keep the ruling party in check. The celebration of the emasculation of other parties does not advance the cause of democracy,” Moro stated.

The caucus also signaled its openness to the idea of a political coalition but insisted that such efforts must be party-driven rather than based on individual ambitions.

Moro added that the PDP, as the largest opposition party in the country, is well positioned to lead any such coalition if it becomes necessary.

“The PDP’s umbrella is big enough to accommodate all persons desirous of a coalition. The PDP should drive the coalition, if and when it becomes necessary,” he added.

Reaffirming the party’s broad national base, the caucus said the PDP remains a dominant political force across Nigeria and will bounce back from its current challenges stronger and more united.

“The PDP is a big brand. From the current conflicts will emerge a renewed and vibrant party capable of offering Nigerians a viable alternative,” Moro said.

The Senate Caucus of PDP therefore  declared the party’s readiness to lead a broad-based political coalition ahead of the 2027 general elections, despite ongoing internal disagreements.

They insisted that the PDP will rise again and emerge stronger despite current internal conflicts.

The caucus made this declaration during a press conference held at the National Assembly on Tuesday, May 20, 2025, led by Senate Minority Leader, Comrade Abba Moro.

Moro stressed that the internal wrangling within the PDP is not peculiar to the party alone, noting that other political parties, including the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Labour Party (LP), New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), and the Social Democratic Party (SDP), are also grappling with their own internal issues.
