Peter Mbah of Enugu State urged party leaders and faithful in the region to rise to the task of recovering its lost ground and rebuilding the party to its pre-eminent position in the years past.<\/p>\n<p>Mbah, who is the leader of the party in the zone, said there was a need to rejig the party\u2019s financial, administrative and operational strategies.<\/p>\n<p>He expressed a strong conviction that the party would rise again in the zone.<\/p>\n<p>Mbah said, \u201cAs the National Vice Chairman South-East rightly observed, we have shed a lot of weight.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday, when you look at other parties, whether it is Labour Party, All Progressives Congress or the New Nigeria Peoples Party, and so on, you are actually talking about PDP members.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut providence has placed a lot on us in the history of the party that we now have to steer the affairs of the party and pull it back to its former glory, to that pre-eminent position we have always held in the historical and political development of this country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd in doing that, we have a couple of areas we have to look into, such as financial, administrative, and operational strategies to bring us back to pre-eminence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Governor further said that it was time for the party to begin to craft a strategy on how it could get back to that \u201cpole position\u201d that they had always occupied.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt means we have to first of all consolidate our support base as a party, and now reach out to our brothers and sisters, who may have felt aggrieved for one reason or the other and left the party to see how we can bring them back,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<div class=\"yj6qo\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"adL\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the South-East zone says it has begun the process of reconciling its aggrieved members who defected to other political parties.
