PDP 100th NEC: ‘Democracy won, no victor, no vanquish’ – Saraki

Former Senate President Bukola Saraki has declared that there was “no victor and no vanquish” following the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) 100th National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting.

Despite a brief disruption by men of the Nigeria Police Force at the PDP National Secretariat, the meeting was successfully held.

In a statement he personally signed, Saraki described the gathering as symbolic, noting that it could have either deepened divisions within the party or marked a turning point toward unity. “Our esteemed leaders chose the latter,” he said.

Saraki added: “Today, there was no victor and no vanquished. The winner is the PDP. Another winner is Nigeria’s democracy because, without a vibrant opposition, democracy dies.

“Millions of our members and supporters across the 774 local government areas also emerged as winners.”

He further stressed that PDP leaders agreed to set aside their differences, rebuild broken trust, and work together in pursuit of peace and unity.
