a member of the National Executive Committee of the party, Kola Ologbondiyan, has expressed the readiness of the party to carry its message of rebuilding the country to Nigerians wherever they are.
Ologbondiyan, the immediate past National Publicity Secretary of the party, stated this in an interview with The PUNCH on Sunday.
Amidst the lingering crisis in the party pitching five state governors against the National Working Committee on the one hand and the Presidential Campaign Council on the other, Ologbondiyan said the PDP has a way of dealing with its challenges, insisting that in no distant time, whatever crisis currently bedevilling the party would be over.
‘Tomorrow (today), our presidential candidate and the campaign council will be in Uyo. We need to understand that crises are normal but what is more important is that those crises must be resolved in the interest of all parties. If you listen to the PCC chairman who is the governor of Akwa Ibom State, Udom Emmanuel in his comments recently, you will understand what I am saying.
‘Governor Udom has said that the PDP had in the past, come out of many crises stronger than before. Regardless of what people are saying today, the party is ready and on a steady march to the presidential villa come 2023,’ he said.
It was gathered that the PCC chairman, though supportive of the party’s peace moves, is of the position that programmes and activities must be pursued to keep the momentum.
