The Peoples Democratic Party in  Anambra has rejected any planned political coalitions with other political parties and strongly advises its members and stakeholders to steer clear of them.

The party stated this in a communique issued at the end of an enlarged meeting of the State Executive Committee meeting.

The PDP chairman in Anambra, Chidi Chidebe, signed the communique.

The party said the National Working Committee of the PDP was not engaged in any coalition discussions with any political party, and consequently, the PDP in Anambra was not involved in any coalition talks.

The party called on the party faithful to remain focused, resolute, and unwavering in their support for the efforts of the national leadership, the board of trustees, the PDP Governors’ Forum, and other stakeholders working to reposition the party.

“We strongly advise our members and stakeholders to steer clear of such activities, as they lack legitimacy, approval, or endorsement from the leadership of the party at both the state and national levels.

“As the saying goes, no man abandons his house because of weed. We continue to pray that any man or woman raised and nurtured by this party whose intention is now to destroy it shall be put to shame,” it said.

The PDP SEC in Anambra expressed solidarity and respect for the party leaders, including Ben Ndi Obi, the South-East zonal leader, Governor Peter Mba, and the party’s national leadership.

It commended their efforts and aligned fully with their pursuit of peace, unity, and restoration of the PDP as “the true hope of the Nigerian people”.

The  PDP warned members to steer clear of any form of coalition meetings or political gatherings that were not approved by the party leadership, as participation in such gatherings constitutes anti-party activity.

“Any state, local government, or ward officer whose name is enlisted or associated with any unauthorised coalition group will be deemed to have exited the party.

“Consequently, any office such an individual occupies shall be declared vacant with immediate effect.

“SEC remains committed to upholding party discipline, unity, and the democratic values of the PDP. We urge members to remain vigilant, loyal, and focused as we collectively work towards a rejuvenated and victorious party,” it said.
