He added that the PDP would have birthed better leadership outcomes if it still held sway as party at the centre.
His words:
“If we did not allow Nigeria to test another party, today the noise would have been so much. Some Nigerians wanted "change" and today, they have seen the change that has brought us where we are.
“But, I am hopeful that Nigeria will be better sooner than imagined when the people give PDP another chance.”
On the electronic membership registration and revalidation of PDP, Governor Emmanuel who was first to be enrolled shortly after flagging off the exercise appreciated the party for the innovation and for choosing Akwa Ibom as one of the first six states in the country to kick off the initiative.

“In Akwa Ibom state, PDP is a solid rock. And I must say here that our doors are open to receive our brothers and sisters who want to return to their original party - the PDP.”
On his part, the Akwa Ibom state chairman of PDP, Rt. Hon. Aniekan Akpan alluded that the idea of registration of party membership electronically which is the first of its kind in the country.
