The Sen. Ahmed Makarfi-led faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) will not change its registered name for a mega party, Prof. Jerry Gana, has said.
Gana, who chairs the PDP Strategic Review and Inter-party Affairs Committee, made statement on Thursday in Abuja in an interview with newsmen during a meeting of the committee.
Here are some of the plan:
1. The party’s relationship with other political parties would be based on principle and cleared guidelines.
2. No concrete involvement of PDP, but the party wants to relate with lovers of democracy in all the parties.
3. There is a syndicate committee working on this chaired by former Deputy Senate President, Ibrahim Mantu that will give guidelines for any re-alignment plan and the number of parties that are willing to join us.
4. The mega party may continue with the name, PDP, because it is the only party that can be found in every ward, it is the only party that has not changed its name, and we are not going to change the name of our party.
Gana said that the committee would reconvene in the middle of January 2017 to continue on its deliberations.
The committee, inaugurated on Nov. 8 by Makarfi was given three months to submit its report and it has among other mandates expected to map out strategy how the PDP would reclaim power in 2019 through democratic means.
