The PDP is a party governed by rules, completely dedicated to its values, manifesto, guiding principles and has no intent or any contemplation whatsoever to merge with any other political party.

The PDP is the largest political party in Nigeria with clear objectives, full functional structure, presence and membership in every Polling Units and Electoral Wards across the federation and it remains strong and resilient despite the challenges.

The public, teeming members of our great Party, democracy Institutions and of course the International Community should disregard the misleading report of merger as such is not in the contemplation of our great Party.
