Humphrey Abah, a former Minister of Police Affairs, has consulted with the executives and stakeholders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the North Central Zone on his ambition for the National Chairmanship of the party.
Abah was said to have met with the stakeholders in Abuja, where he made his intentions known and sought for their support for the party’s top position.
The meeting was said to have provided him the opportunity to unveil his vision for the PDP.
Sources at the meeting said Abah promised to reposition the party, foster unity among members and promote internal democracy.
The source said,“Recognizing the importance of grassroots mobilisation and inclusive leadership, Abah assured the party leaders and stakeholders of his commitment to ensuring that every member’s voice is heard and valued, just as he emphasised on the need for transparent and accountable leadership.
“The National Chairman hopeful assured stakeholders that he would be guided by the fundamental principles of accountability and transparency if elected as the next PDP National Chairman”.
The former minister was said to have expressed gratitude for the warm reception and robust engagement with stakeholders in the North-Central and promised to serve the PDP and the nation with integrity, competence, and unwavering determination, as he did when he was minister of state, Trade and Investment, Minister of State, Interior and sub-substantive Minister of Police Affairs between 2007 and 2011.
The source added that Abah’s consultation with party executives in the North-Central, marked a significant milestone in his campaign to realise his ambition of becoming the next PDP National Chairman, a position that has been zoned to the North-Central geo-political zone.
The source said further that Abah’s efforts at reaching out to stakeholders reflect a strategic approach in developing a strong support base across diverse membership of the PDP.
Abah is set to continue with his consultations with various stakeholders across the six geo-political zones of the country to engage with them and seek their support for the position.
