He recalled that during the 2023 general election it was a difficult one for the party (PDP), because with the failure of the All Progressive Congress (APC) to deliver on their promises of ‘Change’ they brought that disappointed everyone we were hopeful that PDP will come back to power at the Federal level.
“We saw how the PDP was divided from the Federal level to some extent to the State and there was a kind of ‘wave’ with attended anti-party Vices, the wave ate into the fabrics of the political system. A situation whereby people who are not even politicians became politicians overnight. People who have no experience of governance in politics became experts advising people on where to vote”.

Whereas we all know that politics is about Party, governance is about Party. After the whole politicking it is the party that will recommend for appointment, it is the party that will form the government. A lot of people are regretting what happened with that ‘wave’ today”, he lamented.
