The Peoples Democratic Party ,PDP, governorship candidate in the 2015 governorship elections in Kogi State, Alhaji Yusuf Agabi has called on party leadership at all levels and all party loyalists to support the national chairman, Senator Ali Modu Sheriff to lead the PDP to victory in 2019.
He made his position known while speaking with LEADERSHIP in Abuja, yesterday, where he noted that at the moment, only Senator Sheriff had the political sagacity to turn around the fortunes of the party.
Agabi urged all party faithful to put aside their personal interests and work collectively for the interest of the party, noting that personal interest was one of the factors that cost the PDP’s victory in 2015 general elections.
He added, “I am calling on party leaders and members to give the national chairman, Senator Ali Modu Sheriff the necessary support to lead PDP to victory in 2019. I am sure that after one year with the APC, Nigerians now know who to trust with their votes and mandate.
“We made mistakes in the past; and we are working on correcting those mistakes.
“The most important things for us in the PDP now is how to rebuild the party. And that is exactly what the national chairman is currently doing. I think we should put our differences aside, as well as our political differences, and work for the interest and progress of the party.”
He further charged members to play by the rules in the forthcoming PDP state congresses, adding that the successful conduct of the exercise would show whether the party had become a formidable political platform through which Nigerians could realise their aspirations.
