The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), yesterday, says it is doing everything possible to “mend all the crack walls” within its fold as the party begins its official campaign in the Southwest states for the 2019 February 16, presidential election.
Chief Eddy Olafeso, the national vice chairman of the PDP in the Southwest, disclosed this at the party’s stakeholders’ meeting held in Akure, Ondo State, which was attended by many stalwarts of the party.
According to Olafeso, the real battle before the main opposition party is to regain power from the All Progressives Congress (APC) in next month’s presidential and general elections.
He expressed the willingness of both members and leaders of the PDP in Southwest states to build a strong and cohesive party in the build up to the general election.
“We are doing everything to resolve it. I spoke with both the aggrieved parties from Ogun State, especially Senator Buruji Kashamu and Ladi Adebutu,” he said.
“It is a wonderful development that we have been able to unify them at this moment that our elections are few weeks away because victory is certain for us.
