The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Senator Iyorchia Ayu, Abia State Governor Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu and his Rivers State counterpart Governor Nyesom Wike have urged members of the party to work as a team for its success in the forthcoming elections, saying the party remains the only hope of Nigerians .
The party National chairman and the governors said this in Lagos, at a rally organised at the Tafawa Balewa square, Onikan to receive members of a group in the All Progressive Congress APC known as Lagos 4 Lagos led by Abdulazeez Olajide Adediran into the PDP fold.
Also present at the rally were Bayelsa State governor Douye Diri, Enugu State governor Dr. Ifeanyi Uguanyi, Oyo State governor Seyi Makinde, former Senate President Senator Bukola Saraki, former governors of Anambra and Ondo State, Dr Peter Obi and Dr Olusegun Mimiko.
Also present are the PDP deputy National Chairman Hon Taofik Arapaja and former National Chairman of the party, Alhaji Kawu Baraje. While Chief Bode George along with his wife Roli were the hosts.
Senator Ayu said the PDP is keen about taking over governance in Nigeria to bring comfort to Nigerians, because they have gone through hell under the APC government that deceived the electorate with a change slogan, and instead for a change for good governance it brought hardship and made things difficult for the masses.
He therefore urged members of the PDP to live up to expectations by rescuing the masses from the hardship they are subjected to, adding that they can achieve the feat if members of the party work as a team.
Ayu urged them to identify states that may be hard to win and the party members should devise a strategy to win such states for the PDP by wooing members of the opposition parties to join the PDP.
