Powerful Chieftain Reveals 1 Key Thing PDP Will Do After Winning 2023 Polls

  • Nigeria's main opposition PDP is ready to do all it takes to ensure its house is in order, a few months before the 2023 general elections
  • This is so because the internal crisis, if not settled, might threaten the party's chances in the forthcoming polls
  • Part of the reconciliatory efforts is the assignment given to four governors under the platform of the party to go and pacify Governor Nyesom Wike and other aggrieved members

Charles Aniagwu, the spokesperson of the Atiku-Okowa presidential campaign council, says the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) will resolve its internal wrangling after it wins the 2023 elections.

According to The Cable, Aniagwu said there is no crisis in the PDP but a plurality of opinions among members which is obtainable in every democratic governance.
