Amid the crisis rocking the Peoples Democratic Party ahead of the 2023 general election, the PDP National Chairman, Dr Iyorchia Ayu, has expressed confidence that the party would win the next year’s presidential election and win more than 25 governorship seats.

Ayu, who has been facing a removal battle from loyalists of Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State, said this after a meeting between the PDP National Working Committee (NWC) and the party’s governorship candidates across the 36 states of the country at the party’s headquarters in Abuja.

The meeting held behind closed doors was attended by all the PDP governorship candidates except Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, who is currently out of the country on vacation.

Speaking to newsmen after the meeting, Ayu said: “The candidates came and expressed their concerns in their various states. They briefed us on the efforts they are making to win the election. I am very happy with the progress that are made so far in various states.

“So, we are happy that members are determined that we don’t just win at the national level. We want to return about 25 governors or more as we used to have. So, the mood at the party is excellent.”

Also speaking, the Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, said they believed in the supremacy and sanctity of the party.
