The leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party in Ebonyi State has reaffirmed its commitment to resolving the ongoing internal crisis within the party.
The crisis, which has been ongoing since the 2023 general election, has led to defections and the appointment of a caretaker committee by the National Working Committee.

According to him, the PDP leadership in Ebonyi State is determined to rebuild and strengthen the party, ensuring its continued relevance in the state’s political landscape.
“The era of discord and restiveness has come to an end, there is a rebirth of the PDP in Ebonyi state,” he said. “We must be united to succeed because every member is indispensable.
“We remain committed to servicing them better, but we must be united,” he said. “Some people want to come back to the party and we must get it ready for them and the national body has done everything they need to do to ensure that the party bounces back.”
