The Peoples Democratic Party has vowed to regain power from the All Progressives Congress in 2019.
The PDP lost the presidential election to the APC as well as losing the majority in the governorship, National Assembly and state Houses of Assembly elections, which made it lose the title of ruling party.
Consequently, the party reached a resolution to come back stronger after a National Working Committee meeting in Abuja on Wednesday, led by the National Chairman of the party, Adamu Mua’zu.
At the end of the meeting, a joint statement was issued by the Vice-Chairman of the party in the North-West, Ibrahim Kazaure, and the Benue State Chairman, Emmanuel Agbo.
The statement said: “The meeting resolves to give all necessary support to the national leadership of the party under the chairmanship of Adamu Mu’azu to enable them to re-engineer and rebrand the party for the task of regaining power by 2019.
“The meeting notes the outcome of the 2015 general elections and accordingly resolves not to allow the temporary setback affect the party’s contributions to the democratic development of the country.
“The meeting notes and appreciates the patriotic stand taken by President Goodluck Jonathan after the elections as another milestone in the party’s contributions to peace, stability and progress of the nation.”
The statement added that the party had resolved “to give full backing to the various pursuits of redress in this regard within the ambit of the law and tenets of democracy.”
