PDP National Rebirth - Bayelsa State constitutes EXCO

PDP National Rebirth

Introduction
The Peoples’ Democratic Party, PDP, has held sway as the ruling Party since the rebirth of democracy on May 29, 1999. Like any other Political Party, her leadership has passed through several stages depending on the political dynamics of the nation. As an evolving democracy, the Party has its foibles and very trenchantly, people in the opposition often capitalize on those challenges to undermine the leadership of the Party.

Why PDP National Rebirth?


The general perception of the electorate about the PDP is that since inception, the Party has not delivered on her promises optimally. The internal democracy record of the Party has been called to question most of the time against the background of complaints by stakeholders. Party discipline and fundamental principles/ norms of party rules are breached with impunity, and service appears to have been sacrificed on the altar of greed and avarice. While some stakeholders fault the ideological underpinning of the Party, others believe that the Party is in dire need of reform and internal re-engineering because of the mounting opposition. Popular Participation and shared decision making must be entrenched to stop further decamping and defection to other parties. These challenges notwithstanding, PDP remains the only National Party in Nigeria in terms of spread, national orientation, grassroots support base and the mode of selection of her officers at all levels.

The goal of the PDP National Rebirth Initiative as an Advocacy Group is to assist the Party in her reform efforts and reposition the Party for effective service delivery in the years ahead. The PDP National Rebirth Agenda is hinged on the 5Rs.


Reconcile aggrieved members with the present leadership of the Party

Readmit members after due process of reconciliation,
Rehabilitate aggrieved members in the spirit of popular participation,
