He said the PDP was being haunted by its past.

Akpanudoehede said:

‘’Unlike the opposition, we are a disciplined party. PDP is just been hunted by its past. You will recall the glorious third term agenda while PDP was in power. So, it is easy to accuse APC now.
“After our (APC) congresses and the National Convention, we will shock them (PDP) by bringing a consensus and an agreeable candidate that will fly the flag of the party come 2023. APC has no 3rdterm agenda like PDP.’’

Premium Times reported that the APC was presciently stabilising the party.

He stated that the ruling party does not want to allow individual ambitions to derail the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.

Meanwhile, ahead of the 2023 general elections, the PDP is making sure no stone is left unturned for victory.

To actualise this vision, two prominent PDP governors, Nyesom Wike and Samuel Ortom alongside the party's national chairman, Prince Uche Secondus, met in Benue on Monday, July 19, Nigerian Tribune reported.
