This coalition does not represent the interests of the PDP and we urge our members to remain focused on our party\u2019s objectives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said the PDP in Kano has successfully conducted elections at various levels, including ward, local and state levels.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis achievement demonstrates our organizational strength and commitment to democratic processes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have completed the mobilization and repositioning of our party members, ensuring that they are actively engaged and aligned with the party\u2019s goals. This effort is crucial for strengthening our grassroots support and enhancing our operational effectiveness.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want to assure the national executive of our absolute loyalty in all matters concerning the conduct of party business. Our commitment to the party remains unwavering, and we stand ready to support the party\u2019s initiatives and directives.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe categorically reject any attempt to undermine or divide our party. We affirm that all members of the PDP in Kano State are solidly committed to the party and its ideals. Our membership remains intact and resolute in supporting the PDP\u2019s mission and vision for a better Kano and Nigeria,\u201d Kibiya added.<\/p>\n<p>He further declared that the Kano chapter of the PDP wholeheartedly endorses and supports the decisions of the national leadership of the party.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe reaffirm our resolve to work closely with the national leadership, party officials, and stakeholders to ensure the PDP\u2019s triumph in upcoming elections.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe believe that through unity of purpose, collaboration, and strategic planning, we can restore PDP\u2019s prominence at all levels of government,\u201d the Kano PDP chairman stressed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Nigeria<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
