Party members spreading lies as a means of survival
He said for some of the individuals, once there is no lie to spread to naive minds, they would not be able to find means of survival.
He added:
“If we go for election today, we will win by 85 per cent. It means we don’t have meaningful opposition and if this is the situation, we should not create opposition inside."
“We are here to stay and invest in PDP. I am the governor to join PDP last and was made chairman of our e-registration process, so why should I leave the party."
Calling for the cooperation of all, the governor added that as the only true party in Nigeria, members of the PDP must learn to work together for the interest of the people and Nigeria.
He said:
“I said come let us harmonise and the harmonization is to carry everybody along. We don’t need to lie in politics. Politics is a game of numbers."
“People are greedy, politics is all about to give and take. I appreciate PDP, we came, we won, we are not leaving PDP, will not accept any opposition within PDP, if you are not happy with my leadership, you can leave us."
