PDP will return to power at federal level by 2019 – Wike.

   Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike has once again expressed hope that the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, which was hitherto referred as the largest party in Africa, and was defeated by APC in the 2015 presidential elections after 16 years in power, will regain its lost glory at the federal level in 2019.

   Addressing delegates of the PDP at the state party's Congress at the Obi Wali Cultural Centre in Port Harcourt on Tuesday, Governor Wike said the reorganisation of the party will place it on a sound position to attain victory in 2019.

He said: “The PDP will return to the seat of power at the Federal level by 2019. This congress is part of the process of repositioning the party.”

   The governor assured the people of Rivers State that the party will continue to deliver on all fronts in line with the pledges contained in the New Rivers Development Blueprint.

He added, “This administration will showcase our superlative performance in the last one year between May 23 and May 29. The people will know firsthand the quality projects we have executed.”
