Last weekend, during the Ogun State party’s state congress, a major political event took center stage: the election of Tella as the new chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ogun State, supervised by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). The election sparked strong reactions and hopes for the future of the party in the region.
In his inaugural address, Tella expressed his determination to restore the legacy and identity of the party as one of the leading political forces. He stressed that the true face of the PDP is not just that of an opposition party, but that it must regain its status as a strong ruling party. Tella also stressed that the process of returning to power was inevitable and crucial for the upcoming elections.
The new chairman highlighted the challenges the party has been through, including internal conflicts and judicial interventions that have weakened its position. Despite these challenges, Tella expressed optimism that the party would overcome these obstacles and move forward as one.
Tella also expressed gratitude to the past leaders of the party and stressed the importance of teamwork in achieving the set goals. He stressed that Project 2027 was at the heart of the new leadership’s agenda, requiring the involvement of all party members.
With regard to the party’s plans, the new chairman announced the establishment of a policy and strategy aimed at strengthening internal cohesion and unity within the Ogun State PDP. This drive to strengthen unity and solidarity within the party is crucial in preparing for the upcoming elections and in realizing the political aspirations of the PDP.
Ultimately, Tella’s election as chairman of the Ogun State PDP marks a turning point in the political history of the region. His commitment to unity, reconstruction and party renewal promises a brighter future for the Ogun State PDP. It remains to be seen how these aspirations will play out in the months and years to come, but one thing is for sure: a new chapter is opening for the party in this key region of Nigeria.
