He said:

"PDP did so well because what we used to hear was that PDP was dead, but realistically, the PDP, aside from being rigged out by APC and INEC, remains the only political party that cut across every region. The crisis in PDP will be resolved, and the party will soon get back to the top.

"The problem here is that Nigerians are determined, and the truth remains that APC has failed Nigerians. INEC is doing the job of keeping APC in power at all costs is difficult because electorates are overwhelmingly voting for the opposition.

"PDP remains the only proper political party with a distinct ideology to move the country forward, but the problem with PDP is that we don’t know how to use the media to spread propaganda. PDP is only concerned about governance and bringing meaningful lives to Nigerians."
