Tambuwal said: “We have just finished our meeting where we received briefings from the convention planning/organising committee, the governor of Adamawa State, Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, that we are on course and by the grace of God, they have almost concluded every arrangement and plan for a very successful, free and fair convention for the PDP coming up on the 30th and 31st of this month.
“We are very grateful to the convention planning committee and other sub-committees for the work they are doing.
“We are optimistic that PDP is going to come out more united from this convention and much more ready to provide the desired platform upon which many Nigerians can realise their aspirations and we shall continue to deepen our democracy and work together as democrats for greater Nigeria.
“The work for the convention is in progress for us to have a successful, hitch-free and peaceful convention.”
