“You have done the party a great service needed at this critical time when PDP is repositioning and rebuilding all segments of the party,” he said while commending the committee.

The national chairman added that the party has effectively played its role as the main opposition party by representing the interests of Nigerians and putting the ruling APC on its toes.

He said the image of Nigeria presently has been battered internally and abroad while the country is sliding and there is palpable fear in the land.
