Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, representing Kogi Central, has appealed to the leaders and stakeholders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to reconcile and put aside ongoing litigations in light of a recent ruling from the Court of Appeal of Nigeria concerning the party's national convention. In her statement delivered in Abuja, she emphasized that the time has come for the party to turn the page on legal disputes to foster unity among its members across the nation. Akpoti-Uduaghan highlighted the necessity of this reconciliation in order for the party to move forward and prepare effectively for the upcoming 2027 general elections.

The senator also pointed out that continued legal battles could jeopardize the ambitions of committed party members, many of whom are eager to run for office as candidates of the PDP. Akpoti-Uduaghan stressed the importance of stability and unity within the party, asserting that it is essential for restoring internal democracy as well. She noted that the Court's decision should be viewed as a chance to fortify the PDP’s base as they collectively work towards common goals.

In her closing remarks, the senator underscored that the PDP must adhere to the principles of democracy and the rule of law, using the judgment as an impetus for healing instead of further division. The call for reconciliation can be interpreted as a critical step for the PDP to enhance its prospects in the political landscape of Nigeria, particularly with the looming 2027 elections on the horizon.
