"You can become too big as to become dysfunctional. And in the modern world that is knowledge-driven, small can be beautiful. So, I want to speak to democratic party, cohesive party, united party, the most powerful party. And this will be measured not by ourselves but by the Nigerian people in terms of what we are doing, how we do it and the cohesiveness that they can see.
“So, that is in our hands and it is those values I want us to celebrate in future. And I do not have any illusion that these are things we can just pluck. They have to be result of conscious hard work to have a united house.
