According to the new chairman, his team will never be distracted by the ruling APC who “Nigerians know for their kind of false propaganda” adding that “in the last two years, APC government have fed Nigerians with lies, revenge and intimidation.”
“You will take the new message to the grassroots because we know that the APC and their government are broken. They are running a broken government. We need to rescue our nation from their hands to rebuild our country once more.”
Secondus maintained that “Nigerians can no longer be fooled by false propaganda adding that with PDP Nigerians will hear the truth and the truth will save the country without relying on their false propaganda.”
The new PDP boss who waved the olive branch to aggrieved membersdeclared a no victor no vanquished situation in the post PDP convention said the process of reconciliation has already commenced.
“By the special grace of God, elections have and gone and I declare to you that there is no victor, no vanquished. Our first assignment will be to bring all and sundry together, that is reconciliation.
“We we reassure leaders of our party especially those who contested this election. We have already started work and by the grace of God, it will be productive. We promise to rebuild the party to regain the lost grounds. That will start today.”
While commending the National Caretaker Committee for rescuing the PDP, Secondus said “Makarfi, you are the one that God chose at theright time in Port Harcourt in confidence. You know, power comes from God.
“So whether you like his face or not, he had a mission and he has accomplished that mission in the most trying times of our party, at a time people were so scared and afraid that there would be nothing like the PDP….You are our hero. History will remember you.”
He further told the NCC “We need you to standby because your advice, input will be very useful, if we must move forward.”
Secondus underscored the need to decentralise powers from the headquarters of the party to the state chapters, zonal chapters as well as the youth and women organs.
