Promises to reposition party.
In his acceptance speech, the new PDP national chairman promised to reposition the party towards emerging victorious in the 2023 general elections.
He said he would return the party to the people.
“Our task at this auspicious moment is to return the party to the people. But to do that, the party needs to be reinvigorated, reinvented and repositioned.
“We are not unmindful of our missed steps and actions in the past, but we have learnt our lessons, both in government and in opposition.
“Today, we stand tall, and with a firm resolve to rebuild our great party and rescue our nation.”
