The Governor of Bayelsa State, Honourable Henry Seriake Dickson has
\nsaid PDP is a national asset owned by all Nigerians, and not by any
\nindividual. The Governor in a press statement signed by his Chief Press
\nSecretary, Francis Ottah Agbo in Yenagoa on Sunday, also described
\nProfessors Jerry Gana and Tunde Adeniran as icons of democracy and
\nleaders of progressive politics in the PDP and the country, stressing
\nthat they must be wooed back to the PDP fold.<\/p>\n
Dickson who is also the Chairman of PDP Reconciliation Committee
\nbelieved, while the leaders of the party are important stakeholders in
\nthe scheme of things, the the real stakeholders of PDP are the ordinary
\nNigerians in whom sovereignty lies.<\/p>\n
The Governor said the most rational thing for all PDP stakeholders to do
\nnow is to start a process of building consensus and reaching out to
\nplayers across party lines with the PDP leading the coalition to wrest
\npower from APC in 2019.<\/p>\n
The statement reads:”No one Governor, no one Lawmaker or leader of PDP
\ncan own PDP or singlehandedly produce a presidential candidate.<\/p>\n
Therefore, what is required of PDP leaders now is to work with all
\nparties including those who have left the PDP to produce a credible
\ncandidate that is acceptable to the generality of Nigerians on the
\nplatform of PDP to defeat the APC in 2019.”<\/p>\n
The Governor said his Reconciliation Committee will continuously engage
\naggrieved party members including those who have left PDP to return to
\nthe party, stressing that “we must be together to save our party and
\ncountry from collapse. ”<\/p>\n
He said with less than one year to the 2019 general election, time is
\nof essence and the right thing to do now is for all men of good will to
\ncome together to challenge the APC.<\/p>\n
The Governor also called on PDP members not to lose faith in the party.
\nHe said the next election is critical to the survival of democracy and
\nthe nation, stressing that history will be unkind to PDP leaders if
\nthey fail to lead a coalition to unseat the APC-led Federal Government,
\nwhich he noted<\/p>\n
