The National Chairman of the Nyesom Wike-led Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Abdulrahman Mohammed, has said the party is ready for next year’s general election.
Mohammed, who spoke on Monday when the party played host to a delegation from the International Republican Institute on a Pre-Election Assessment Mission (PEAM), said the PDP is a democratic party and is ready to meet the aspirations of the people.
“We are the Peoples Democratic Party, and we belong to the people of Nigeria,” he stated, noting that the people of Osun State, last Saturday, made a choice of the governor.
“You were in Osun for the governorship election that took place two days ago, and you can attest to the outcome of the election,” Mohammed added, disclosing that the PDP has its own template for winning the 2027 general election.
Leader of the delegation, Jenai Cox, who is IRI African Regional Director, told the party that the delegation was on a pre-election assessment mission, “to learn more from a variety of stakeholders about the pre-election period and preparations ahead of the general election.”
Cox said the delegation would share its recommendations towards the end of the week with stakeholders, “where we will have a preliminary statement available.”
Other members of the delegation are Jendayi Frazier, former U.S Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs; IRI President Dr Daniel Twining, and IRI West African Regional Program Director Sentell Barnes
