Democratic Party (PDP) to set Nigeria aright.

officials at the 2021 PDP National Convention.

decisions that would shape the future of the party for the benefit of all
Nigerians.

to set the ship on the right course; we have a chance to atone for our
collective mistakes and those of past leadership.
“We have a chance to unite the country as we march towards
achieving the dreams of our founding fathers at independence so many years ago.
“We have a chance to set our country on an enviable position
in the comity of nations; we can save ourselves, we can save the party, we can
save Nigeria together,” he said.
