“The best person that will take power from the ruling party in 2019 is our own, 2019 is for the PDP.”

“We are also expecting the return of some of our former governors, National Assembly members and very renowned party followers.

“When this is done, the party will come to its stable stand.

“We should encourage anybody who has left us to come back and reunite with us, we will not hate or deprive anybody, it is a good omen for the party that we should receive people coming back.

“We are therefore calling on Saraki, Kwankwaso, and all our former legislators who left the party to come back quickly.”
