He promised to provide a leveled playing ground for all aspirants vying for various positions on the PDP platform, adding that no aspirant would be shortchanged.
“PDP is a party of justice, equity and fairness. We shall live up to such virtues.

He explained that the meeting availed party faithful the opportunity to discuss and explore strategies that would enable it take over power at various levels in 2023.
The official added that stakeholders also harped on the need for unity among party members in the zone to give it the desired edge toward victory in 2023.
