“The current insecurity problems in Nigeria is a matter of concern by all as all Nigerians live  in serious fear which PDP will certainly solve on resuming power. Motor and Railway transportations are insecure landing at airports and proceeding to destination are problematic. 
“In order to allow us capture power, PDP is in full reconciliation in all the states to make the party intact with no unnecessary dismissals we are respecting the dignity of individuals and dynamism of a group The door is always opened to everyone to join the party and members to continue remaining in the party. 
“The NWC ,BoT, Governors Forum are determined to continue with their roles to move the party forward. All PDP media groups, youth forums, women associations are being encouraged. 


“The BoT, the conscience of the party, is determined to continue playing its roles. It’s obvious that there is no party to rule Nigeria again but only PDP. Finally all Nigerians must follow the path of Edo state and must be fully ready for 2023,” Senator. Walid said.
