He added that with the level of reception he received by the entire Kebbi PDP exco, he is convinced that PDP is back in the state.
He said with a united house, PDP will reclaim Kebbi and Nigeria again in 2023.
His words:
“APC has failed Nigeria. International organisations have rated Nigeria as the world poverty capital and it's time to change the narrative.
“PDP has ruled Nigeria before and now APC has ruled and you all have seen the negative difference. The mantra they campaigned on has failed. So it's time for us to change the fortunes of this country. I urge you all to remain united and committed.”
He thanked the state exco for the success recorded during the just concluded local government elections in the state noting that it's a sign that the party is ready to reclaim the state.

In his remarks, the state PDP chairman, Usman Bello Suru, said the Kebbi state PDP is fully in support of Governor Tambuwal's ambition.
To demonstrate this, he asked all delegates, Kebbi state PDP local government chairmen, and state exco to identify themselves.

2023: Plot against Atiku thickens in PDP, as major stakeholders reject former VP
Meanwhile, a recent report by a national newspaper indicates that big wigs in the PDP, including former top military brass, are opposed to the fresh presidential bid of former vice-president, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.
Atiku, 75, is seeking the PDP ticket for the 2023 presidential poll after running as the candidate of the party in 2019.
Regarded as among the main power brokers in the party since the inception of the PDP in 1998, the ex-military leaders are reportedly pushing for a paradigm shift in the contest for who becomes the standard-bearer of the party.
