The Conference of Professionals in the Peoples Democratic Party (CP-PDP) has commended the State Governors elected on the platform of the PDP for their efforts in providing direction for the repositioning of the party for electoral success in 2027.

The Conference said this on Thursday at the end of its weekly State of the Party Review session in Abuja.

The conference in a statement by its Protem National Coordinator, Barr. Obinna Nwachukwu, submitted that the recommendations by State Governors for the convening of the party’s National Executive Meeting on May 27 and early National Convention in August 2025 respectively are a major step towards strengthening and returning the PDP to its winning ways ahead of the 2027 general election.

The statement by Barrister Nwachukwu reads, “The CP-PDP also commends the PDP Governors and other leaders of the party for articulating the willingness of the PDP to work with other political parties, platforms, groups and patriotic Nigerians for a formidable front to wrest power from the APC in the 2027 general election.

“Against this backdrop, the CP-PDP as a proactive platform has commenced the process of activating its pro-bono mechanisms to massively rally Nigerians across political, professional, business, social, sectional and cultural circles across the six geo-political zones of the country.

“Our desks are open to receive proposals, suggestions and recommendations for the task ahead.

“The CP-PDP has also commenced consultations among members of the party with a view to making professional inputs that will help strengthen the party’s internal democracy and guarantee the election of the desired leadership for the PDP at the proposed National Convention.

‘The Conference encourages qualified and competent members of our party to show interest in appropriate NWC positions so as to further guarantee the best hands to pilot its affairs of the party, preparatory to 2027 general elections.

“This is especially bearing in mind that the leadership that emerges at the National Convention must be such that can effectively confront the ruling APC and rally Nigerians for the party’s victory at the 2027 general elections.

“The Conference calls on all leaders and members of the PDP to get the party back to its winning ways by setting aside all forms of parochial personal, group or sectional interests, have an open mind and be ready to work with other like-minded entities to enthrone good leadership that has eluded the nation in the last 10 years of APC misrule”, it said.

The CP-PDP restated its unalloyed commitment towards the unity, stability and growth of the PDP, the sustenance of democracy and propagation of good governance in the nation.
