Governor of Enugu State and leader of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the South East, Peter Mbah, has called party leaders and faithful in the region to rise to the task of recovering its lost ground and restore the party to its preeminent position of the years past .

He stressed the need to rejig the party’s financial, administrative and operational strategies, expressing a strong conviction that the party would rise again.

Mbah spoke during the zonal meeting of the party in Enugu, yesterday.

“As the National Vice Chairman, South East, rightly observed, we have shed a lot of weight. Today, when you look at other parties, whether it is Labour Party (LP), All Progressives Congress (APC), the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), or any other party, you are actually talking about PDP members.

“But providence has placed a lot on us in the history of the PDP that we now have to steer the affairs of the party, and build it back to its former glory, to that preeminent position we have always held in the historical and political developments of this country.”
