The Senator Ahmed Makarfi-led faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) will not change its registered name for a mega party, Prof. Jerry Gana, has said.

Ceoafrica gathered that Gana, who chairs the PDP Strategic Review and Inter-party Affairs Committee, made the statement in Abuja on Thursday saying that the party’s relationship with other political parties would be based on principle and guidelines.

He said: “on the progress of the alliance, I will not like to give details of what is being recommended, but the PDP is desirous of attracting all lovers of democracy across the country as we move forward.

“There are details I cannot divulge at the moment because the committee’s recommendations will be passed on to the party leadership. It will not be wise to disclose the details before we submit the report.

“On the issue of mega party, we are not yet aware of PDP involvement, but all we can say is that the party wants to relate with lovers of democracy in all the parties.

Gana said that the committee, which was broken into 11 syndicates, would come up with recommendations that would help to re-position and strengthen the party calling on lovers of democracy in the country to rise up against what he described as `degeneration of democratic and electoral process gained during PDP administration.’

The committee, inaugurated on Nov. 8 by Makarfi was given three months to submit its report and strategize how the PDP would democratically reclaim power in 2019.
