“I’m calling on Nigerians to know that politics is not about personal interest, it’s about self-actualisation within the framework of party decisions, manifesto, and national development.

“So we are always available as governors, NWC, BoT to work towards making sure that PDP is a darling of Nigerians so that we can give everyone the political space or allowances to come and actualise their aspirations.”
