Her words:
“From what I gathered, the leadership of our party’s national campaign council is planning a virtual meeting with all candidates nationwide, similar to what happened on Sunday between the NASS candidates and our presidential candidate.
"The only difference is that it’s a virtual meeting and it will involve all the candidates contesting difference offices in Nigeria."
She retreated that, the PDP is not just holding the meeting with its candidates, but wants to use the opportunity to tell the smaller parties that political structure is what determines victory in all elections.
She added:
“This scheduled virtual meeting will also provide our party, another opportunity to remind the structureless political parties in Nigeria that, having registered members and candidates in every nook and cranny in the country is of great importance in an election”
"This meeting is the first of its kind in an election year. This is the first time a Presidential Candidate shall be holding such an interactive meeting with other candidates before an election.
“As I earlier mentioned, this is the first time a meeting of this nature is taking place between candidates of major political parties in a crucial election such as the 2023 general elections.
"The meeting shall avail our party members and candidates, the opportunity to discuss and plan for total victory on February 25, 2023."
