His words:
“One thing I have always told people is if anybody is thinking, doing anything to think that we will leave PDP, foul.
"We will do the fight in the party. We are not like them, when in 2014 they walked out from Eagle Square. They’ve forgotten, they walked out and joined APC. Is it not correct?"
Noting that some politicians who have taken centre stage within the PDP currently had earlier abandoned the party when it was not favourable for them.
He asked:
"Did they remain to fight inside the party?
"But we remained, they ran away. Now, there is a fight in the party, we will not run. We will fight it in this party. Those who run away from fight are weak people.
"We will not. So everybody should know this is the state where we are. So that nobody tells you all kind of stories.”
