Former governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic
Party for Lagos state in the 2015 election, Mr Jimi Agbaje has vowed that he
will lead the party back to winning ways if elected chairman of the party at
the Port Harcourt Convention.
Speaking with Journalists shortly after he picked the
nomination forms for the chairmanship position of the party in Abuja, Mr Agbaje
said as a candidate who does not belong to any of the factions in the party, he
stands a better chance to unite all the contending forces in the party.
According to him, it was high time the party learnt from
its mistakes of the past that cost it power at the national level as well as
some states that it had previously won.....
We accept that mistakes were made in the past in the PDP,
especially with our internal democracy. So we have to go back to the position
of the founding fathers of our party on internal democracy “And that means that
we have go back to our constitution. That is very important. We have to be more
all inclusive as we have been thus far. It is about bringing people nearer
rather than sending them far away from the party. Everybody must feel to be
part of this party.
“what I bring to the table is that I am not a member of
any faction or any tendencies. I am in a position to talk to everybody, to
ensure that if you love the PDP, then it is time to come back to the zone.
I will appeal to those who feel very strongly to join us
because Nigeria cannot make the progress it deserves without a viable
opposition and that PDP is going to provide that opposition as an alternative
government and in a responsible manner.
