The discussions also highlighted the challenges confronting opposition politics in the country, with the party leadership reiterating the need for coherence, organizational strength, and effective communication in advancing the PDP’s role as a viable political alternative. The National Chairman further underscored that the PDP Secretariat remains a hub for policy direction, coordination, and guidance for state leaderships.
