Mazagani, who commended the party’s officials in the state “for a job well done,” said the smooth conduct of the congress was an indication that the PDP would soon resolve the lingering differences between some members of the party to make it “a better and stronger opposition that can defeat the ruling party.
“Our party being the largest in Africa, no doubt, faces some internal challenges, but as always, we have learnt to manage our differences.
“I can assure you today that we are working hard to ensure unity and we are mobilising like never before, to ensure our success in the forthcoming 2027 general elections which I can confidently say the people will vote for us.
“So, it is now left for us to present credible candidates to Nigerians like we did before and we wish to improve on that.”
Also addressing the event, former Kano Governor Senator Ibrahim Shekarau assured attendees that the party is committed to forming a winning team for the 2027 general elections. He emphasized that the PDP is prepared to compete with any party in upcoming elections, including the local government elections set for October 26, 2024.
