The PDP will come out stronger, better than before. Iya Abbas
… says party better than APC
By our journalist
The senator who represents Adamawa Central to the tenth Senate, Iya Aminu Abbas has declared that the Democratic Party of the peoples (PDP) will be stronger and better than the general elections of 2027.
This was sequel to the settlement of the main opposition of his national secretary Brouhaha who almost buried the party, combined with other internal crises that swing the party.
Senator Iya Abbas while the questions of journalists on Tuesday 1 July 2025 follow the national assembly, Abuja said that the entire episode of the position of the secretary who had been controversial for some time has been placed rest, insisting on the fact that the confusion between the two secretary was a family relationship and required members of the party as a family to establish.
He stressed that, despite the crisis, the PDP remained a better party of The Duging All Progressives Congress (APC) who said: “Nigeria was better under the PDP than what is happening now”.
With the buried secretarial dispute and a new Data Nec on the calendar, the leaders of the PDP say that their goal now passes to the “Project 2027”, a push to recover Aso Rock on a platform that marries the internal unit with heavy investments in science and technology.
“The Nigerians were better under the PDP,” said the senator. “Our task is to demonstrate that again through credible policies, credible candidates and credible solutions guided by science.”
On the storm of the defection currently underway in the country and above all among federal legislators, he said that there is nothing to worry about while he rejected the speech of mass defections as “thought of a pious desire, observing that the party’s umbrella symbol has lasted since 1999.
“I brought the APC broom once; it didn’t sweep well,” he said. “Politics is local. In the end, we would all return to our roots and that root is PDP.”
Senator Abbas, president of the Senate Committee for science and technology, complained that the entire allocation of Nigeria’s 2024 for science was “barely ₦ 100 billion”, much below what was required to compete globally.
“If we take research seriously, science will raise this country from poverty,” he claimed. “America’s Edge; both in the invisible jets and in vaccines is science. Nigeria must be great for research and development if we expect to join the first row of the world.”
