‘Rhetorics Alone Can’t Do It’ – Wabara Reveals What PDP Needs To Win 2027 Election

The Chairman of the Board of Trustees (BoT) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Adolphus Wabara, has stated that the party needs to be united going into the 2027 elections.

According to the former Senate President, mere rhetoric won’t be enough for the party to win the 2027 polls.

Naija News reports that Wabara made the submission in his message during the 102nd meeting of the PDP National Executive Committee (NEC) held in Abuja on Monday.

He emphasized the need for reconciliation, adding that some party rules may need to be relaxed to welcome genuine members back into the fold.

According to him, such a move is an act of political maturity and wisdom, stressing that a forgiving and accommodating party would emerge stronger.

Wabara also urged leaders of the PDP to lead by example through sacrifice and selflessness.

His message, which was delivered by former Kaduna State Governor, Senator Ahmed Makarfi, stressed that unity is not optional but essential for the PDP’s survival.

“Unity is the glue that holds us together, the fuel that drives our progress, and the assurance of victory in 2027.

“As elders, it is our duty to create room for reconciliation. Where necessary, we must relax some party rules to welcome genuine members back into the fold,” he said.

Wabara further stated that the PDP should view its forthcoming National Convention as a defining moment, where the party can reposition itself for what lies ahead.

“This convention is not just an administrative exercise but a defining moment in itself. It is a chance to reaffirm our values, strengthen our structures and project the PDP as the only credible alternative to rescue Nigeria in 2027. Distinguished ladies, the 2027 elections will not be won by rhetoric alone.

“They will be won by a united front, a spirit of sacrifice, a broad platform of inclusion. The INEC carries the sacred duty of steering this party towards that goal. As we celebrate today, let us be guided not by what divides us but by what unites us,” he cautioned.
