2023: PDP’ll Be Back In Aso Rock, Secondus Boasts

Despite the loss of yet another governor to the All Progressives Congress (APC), the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), remains upbeat of its chances of returning to power at the centre in 2023.
It would be recalled that the Zamfara State Governor, Bello Matawalle, yesterday, crossed over to the ruling party, a development that did not go down well with the National Working Committee (NWC), of the PDP.
Addressing newsmen at a meeting of party leaders, yesterday, the National Chairman of party, Prince Uche Secondus, said the PDP’s chances of winning the Presidential election in 2023 will not dim owing to some weak governors’ defection to the APC.
He labelled Matawalle as a man “who has probably lost memory of how he became governor,” adding that the party would go the whole hog to protect the mandate given to it by the Supreme Court when it ruled in favour of the PDP.
He added that the party’s optimism is premised on the support of the masses nationwide while APC “is busy after governors in their bid to rig elections in 2023.”
