As a leader of the party, what are you going to do to get the support of the other aggrieved members in order to achieve victory at the poll?

We will continue to appeal to them in the interest of the state and the party. They should come in and join hands with us so that together, we can develop the state.We continue to urge them to help the party by not creating further distraction, especially when they know that the PDP is a party to beat. They should not allow themselves to be used to create a crisis where none exists. I hope and pray that, at one point, they will realise that there is nothing to be gained by destroying the party. Let me also say that as I speak with you, a legal step has also been taken to straighten whatever appears to be a legal confusion in the polity.

Jimoh Ibrahim said even if the two factions reconcile, he will not step down for you?

I have said that I don’t want to join issues with Mr. Jimoh Ibrahim, but very soon everything will be sorted out.

It was gathered that some of your members are being wooed by the All Progressives Congress and the Alliance for Democracy. The opposition parties are capitalising on the crisis within your party. What are you doing to address this?

I don’t think so. Just this evening, I had a meeting with the members of the APC, AD and SDP who are ready to work for us. So, the point I am making is that in PDP, we remain focused and we will continue to campaign. If you go and check, I am the only one campaigning. I have not seen any other person out there campaigning for the PDP.
