There are strong indications that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chapter in Plateau state may soon be breaking its long silence in the state, as its leadership makes moves to rebuild the party at the state level.

You would recall that since after the general elections conducted by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), that led to the transfer of power in the state to the All Progressive Congress (APC) now led by Governor Simon Lalong, the Plateau state chapter of the PDP has kept its silence.
REALITY roaming findings can reveal that the PDP in the state has been having meetings with major stakeholders of the party in the state in order to aggregate a position that will spring the state chapter back to its lost glory after the 2015 general elections.
Explaining more on these findings through a telephone conversation, the state PDP Chairman, Hon. Raymond Dabo, while agreeing that the party has been engaging in serious party meetings with stakeholders, said it was necessary, owing to the important activities scheduled in the party’s calendar for 2016.
Hon. Dabo who sounded proud of the members of the party in the state on the phone from Abuja today, said, “you can see that we have been silent this long but, we shall break it soon. You can also see that despite all that have happened, members of the PDP and its leadership in the state have remained united, none have decamped to any other party.
“The recent rerun elections ordered by the Court of Appeal in the state would also show you that the party is still on ground. If not for the state government’s influence and manipulations, I am convinced that the PDP would have won.
“For your information, the rerun election proceeded to 7pm on that day. Ask yourself, is that normal? We shall expose more on this soon!”
You would recall that the rerun election slated for Langtang South in Plateau State, has been postponed because, PDP has dragged INEC to the Federal High Court in Jos, the capital of Plateau state, challenging the umpire body of moves to exclude the party and its candidate from contesting.
