According to Metuh, his confidence in the PDP as the platform that holds hope for survival remains unshaken.
He said:
"Despite my travails and challenges, my confidence in the ideals, values and principles of the PDP, as enshrined by our founding fathers, remain unshaken and it is clear that the party can rescue our nation from her current dire straits.
“Our nation has passed through a lot and the citizens are losing hope in the polity. In the Southeast and southwest, many of the citizens are questioning their fate and faith in Nigeria and this is also the situation in other parts of the country. It is important that these issues are addressed."
Metuh commended the PDP NWC for stabilising the party, urging them to remain focused on promoting the ideals and values of the founding fathers.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng had previously reported that the seven years jail term imposed on Olisa Metuh over alleged money laundering was nullified by the Court of Appeal.
It was reported that a three-man panel of the appellant court in a ruling on Wednesday, December 16, stated that the conviction by the Federal High Court was biased.
Justice Stephen Adah who read the judgment stated that the trial judge, Justice Okon Abang, who convicted Metuh showed evidence of prejudice during the trial.
