The turnout, coordination, and determination displayed by party members at the congress reveal a party rediscovering its strength and reconnecting with the grassroots. The energy within the PDP today is no longer about mere survival; it is about revival, strategy, and preparation for victory.
More importantly, the emergence of Dr. Oladipupo Wilson Diriwari (LB, LLB, LLM, PhD) as the PDP candidate for the House of Representatives in Ajeromi-Ifelodun has injected fresh hope and confidence into the party structure. His emergence is widely seen by many supporters as the rise of a visionary leader with a clear mission for transformation, empowerment, and emancipation of the people.
Dr. Diriwari represents a new wave of purposeful leadership driven by competence, education, grassroots connection, and progressive ideas. His candidacy has energized many young people and party loyalists who believe Ajeromi-Ifelodun deserves effective representation built on development, inclusion, and accountability.
What is happening today at Airport Hotel, Ikeja, is bigger than a political congress. It is a strong declaration that the PDP remains a formidable political force in Lagos State. The party is gradually rebuilding trust, strengthening its internal structure, and positioning itself as a serious alternative.
The confidence seen among the Ajeromi-Ifelodun executives and delegates sends a clear message to opponents and critics alike: the PDP is not dead. The party is rising again — stronger, more dynamic, and more determined to reclaim its place in the political future of Lagos State.
