<\/div>\nBarely 26 days after leaving the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the African Democratic Congress (ADC), youth advocate Comrade, Odih Rowland has returned to the PDP, tendering a public apology to its leadership.<\/h2>\n
Rowland, who served as Director-General of the Atiku Youth Wing Campaign Organisation, had on August 1, 2025, announced his defection to the ADC, describing it then as a move for \u201cpolitical realignment.\u201d<\/p>\n
In a letter dated August 27, 2025, titled \u201cMy Sincere Apologies\u201d and addressed to the PDP leadership, Rowland admitted that his exit was a mistake.<\/p>\n
He said, \u201cI am writing to express my sincerest apologies for my recent decision to decamp from PDP to ADC on August 1, 2025. I realise now that I made a grave mistake by leaving the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), a party that has nurtured my political career for 24 years.”<\/em><\/p>\n Rowland praised the PDP for upholding \u201cvalues of truth, justice, and internal democracy,\u201d stressing that the party\u2019s resilience in resolving crises reaffirmed his conviction that it remained Nigeria\u2019s most credible political platform.<\/p>\n The youth leader singled out the National Chairman\u2019s leadership style as a significant reason for his return, expressing confidence in the PDP\u2019s chances in the 2027 general elections.<\/p>\n \u201cI am particularly impressed by the leadership of our National Chairman, which demonstrates PDP\u2019s capacity to win the 2027 elections. I firmly believe my impact will be more significant in PDP than in any other party,\u201d<\/em> he stated.<\/p>\n Rowland revealed that his decision followed consultations with party leaders across all levels.<\/p>\n \u201cFollowing the urging of my ward, local government, state, and national leaders, I have decided to return to PDP with my supporters. I pledge to work tirelessly for the party\u2019s victory in 2027,\u201d<\/em> he affirmed.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, the PDP officially received Rowland back into its fold at the party\u2019s National Headquarters in Abuja on Thursday. Party officials described his return as proof of the PDP\u2019s enduring appeal and unity ahead of the 2027 polls.<\/p>\n See the letter below:<\/p>\n The post Ex-Atiku Youth DG, Rowland Returns To PDP Days After Dumping Party For ADC appeared first on Naija News.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Barely 26 days after leaving the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the African Democratic Congress (ADC), youth advocate Comrade, Odih Rowland has returned to the PDP, tendering a public apology to its leadership.
