So, this is a call on the national working committee, the BoT, and to all elders of our great party, the PDP. We know that the six states of the South West have made recommendations to you in the last two days, and you have listened to them, and we know very clearly that because of who you are, you won’t shy away from telling the whole truth because without that, we won’t easily move forward.
“So, when you’re writing your report, we believe that wherever you observed lapses, lacuna, and what have you, all of those will come into play in terms of recommendations that you present to the national working committee of the party.”
