The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) acting Chairman, Prince Uche Secondus has appealed to Nigerians for forgiveness while admitting that the party made mistakes in the past.
This was said in a meeting he had with PDP stakeholders comprising former Governors, Ex Ministers, governorship aspirants and special advisers. The entourage was led by former senate President, Ken Nnamani. In his words
"Nigerians should forgive the party for the many mistakes it made while in power, assuring that PDP was repositioning and restructuring for the youths to take over and deliver on the vision and mission of the founding fathers."
In another news, General Ibrahim Babangida has excused himself from the proposed PDP rebranding conference slated for tomorrow. This was made known through a statement he personally signed and tagged PDP Rebranding Conference: Count me out. Find the extract from the statement below:
“I wish to make some clarifications concerning the invitation extended to me on the scheduled PDP rebranding conference slated for November 12, 2015, aimed at repositioning the party after its poor outing at the last elections.
“While I welcome the invitation to the event as a mark of respect as one of the founding fathers, I want to be excused on the grounds that I have long bid bye to partisan politics.
Four years ago, at an elaborate event at the Transcorp Hilton Hotels Abuja, I announced my retirement from partisan politics after my failed attempt to contest for president and having attained the gracious age of 70, in a society where life expectancy stands at a ridiculous 47 years.
“In appreciating what Allah has done for me in life, seeing me through many challenges, stabilizing me during periods of tribulations, and safeguarding me through the thick and thin of political risks, I did state at that event that journalists would not push me around again.
“Attaining the age of 70 in 2011 was to me a great accomplishment for which I remain eternally grateful to Almighty Allah and my family who have shown tremendous support and encouragement throughout my political trajectory. Since 2011 till date, I have been playing my role as an elder statesman and “consultant-in-chief” to political office seekers and other like-minds who want my input in their aspirations.”
