The Senator, representing Kogi Central Senatorial District, Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, has advocated that it is time unity, reconciliation and rebuilding of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, after the judgement of the Court of Appeal which nullified the party's National Convention held in November 2025 in Ibadan, Oyo State.

Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, subsequently, called on PDP leaders and stakeholders to embrace reconciliation and move beyond lingering litigations, following the recent judgement of the Court of Appeal.

Senator Akpoti Uduaghan, in a statement, urged members of the party across the country to see the judgement as an opportunity to restore unity, strengthen internal democracy, and reposition the PDP as a formidable platform ahead of the 2027 general elections.

She was of the view that prolonged legal battles within the party could undermine the aspirations of many loyal members who seek to contest elections under the PDP platform.

“The Court of Appeal has spoken, and as a democratic party that believes in the rule of law, we must now shift our focus from litigation to reconciliation and rebuilding. The strength of our party lies in unity, collective purpose, and our shared commitment to providing Nigerians with credible leadership,” she said.

Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan maintained: “Our members across the grassroots — those aspiring to serve in State Houses of Assembly, the House of Representatives, Senate, Governorship positions, and even the Presidency — must not become casualties of prolonged disagreements among leaders. Their aspirations and the future of our party must remain paramount.”

She appealed to PDP leaders to adopt a spirit of compromise and statesmanship in resolving internal disagreements, noting that the current moment requires maturity, dialogue, and a collective commitment to the survival and progress of the PDP.

According to the Senator, “At moments like this, leadership demands that we rise above personal interests and focus on the greater good of our party and our nation.

"The PDP has a long and proud history in Nigeria’s democratic journey, and it is our responsibility to preserve and strengthen it for the generations ahead.”

Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan also advocated: “This is the time to come together, engage constructively, and organize a national convention that reflects the unity, inclusiveness, and democratic values of our party.

"Nigerians are watching, and we must show that the PDP remains ready and capable of leading the nation forward.”

She reaffirmed her commitment to the unity, growth, and success of the PDP and encouraged party members nationwide to remain steadfast and hopeful as the party prepares for the future.
