•As party warns members, public to disregard such narrative
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Imo State has strongly denied rumours suggesting it is in coalition talks with other political parties, describing such claims as false, malicious, and aimed at destabilizing the party.
In a statement issued by the Imo State PDP Chairman, Rt. Hon. Austine Nwachukwu, the party warned members and the general public to disregard the narrative, which it said is being peddled by disgruntled former members who now regret leaving the party.
“These baseless claims are the handiwork of failed politicians driven by selfish interests and personal gain,” the statement read. “There is no coalition whatsoever. PDP remains committed to its values and principles, and will resist any attempt to undermine its integrity.”
The party alleged that intelligence reports point to attempts by these individuals to divide the party and weaken its strength, especially in Imo State. It reaffirmed its commitment to internal unity and warned against any coalition that supports a power shift to the North, which it described as a betrayal of the PDP’s long-standing tradition of power rotation.
While reiterating that the PDP is open to welcoming new members, the statement emphasized that it would not be part of any political arrangement that compromises the party’s core principles.
Party members across Imo State were urged to remain vigilant, ignore the “false narratives,” and stay committed to ensuring the PDP’s victory in the 2027 elections.
“Together, we will ensure that PDP remains the dominant force in Imo State and Nigeria,” the statement concluded.
