PDP is back to rescue Nigeria from APC mess — Ayu

Published by

After emerging the consensus national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Sunday, Professor Iyorchia Ayu, boasted that the former ruling party is back to rescue Nigeria from the mess he said the All Progressive Congress (APC) has plunged it into.

In his appreciation address to the party delegates at the end of the elective national convention at Eagle Square, Abuja, he mocked the ruling party, saying that it cannot conduct a national convention as it has 92 chairmen in 36 state chapters of the party.

The PDP national chairman-elect said those who imagined that the party would break up at the convention are dreamers, as he assured that Nigeria is not divided but suffers from the maladministration by a few.

He said the PDP will reunite all parts of the country.

The former senate president stated: “I want to sincerely appreciate the PDP family. Today is simply a thank you address. When we started this party 23 years ago, we never in any way imagine that the journey will get us to these stage, a stage  where  we ruled for 16 years, we went into rough times, but for anybody who will bother to see PDP is back.

“PDP is back to rescue Nigeria from the terrible mess we have been in in the last six years.

“I want to appreciate all of you who have taken time as delegates as observers, as supporters, as members of the media as members of the security services who have made this event such a wonderful event.

“Many people imagine that this convention will lead to the break up for the PDP. Those people who are dreaming like that, they were dreaming in wonderland.

“Those who have lost hope should today know that Nigeria is not a divided country. A small group of people decided to divide Nigeria. PDP will come back, unite our people, put them together, north and south, east and west.

“We will move ahead to develop this country. We did it before. We are going to do it again. I want to thank the governors. I want to thank the delegates. I want to thank our supporters and every single person who has made this event such a huge success.

“I believe the order party can never hold a convention because even state congress they cannot hold. They have produced 92 state chairmen for 36 states. How can they hold a convention? We are watching.

“This  is a challenge to them. Let them come and hold a  successful convention which the PDP has done.  This is a quit notice. PDP is back and is taking back the country to develop it.”
