The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Umar Damagum, says the party remains united and intact despite its challenges.

Damagum said this after the meeting of the PDP National Working Committee (NWC) on Wednesday in Abuja.

The PDP chairman, who noted that the party could not be conquered, said that it had mastered the art of conflict resolution.

“We know our problems, and we solve them within ourselves. As you can see, we are all here as the NWC of this party.

“We remain united despite all the challenges. We have sat down to discuss all thorny issues and thrashef them out today.

“The National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting scheduled from July 23 to 25 will still hold, so PDP members contemplating leaving the party should reconsider their plan.

“There is no place that will be as accommodating as the PDP. But if they feel otherwise, I will wish them good luck. But I know they will run back to us.

“To our members, I want to bring good tidings that your party is intact,” he said.

Damagum also warned members to stop demarketing the party.

“We will watch them and take appropriate actions at the right time.

“If you believe in this party, you should be an ambassador that protects the fortunes that this party has given to the citizens of this country when in power,” he said. (NAN)
