The Governor of Zamfara State, Dauda Lawal Dare, has said that the crisis rocking the main opposition party, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Nigeria will not last longer, saying that it will make it stronger
Governor Lawal also declared that the decision of the party to back Rt. Hon. SKE Ude-Okoye remained valid.
He maintained that the PDP needed to learn lessons from certain mistakes, noting that the resolution of the governors’ meeting in Delta showed that the party is making efforts to come out stronger to lead Nigeria to the promised land.
Governor Lawal stated this in Ibadan, on Sunday, when he paid a condolence visit to the Governor of Oyo State, Engr. Seyi Makinde, over the death of his older brother, Engr. Sunday Makinde.
“Concerning what is currently going on in the PDP; in politics, there are always issues. With what happened in Delta two days ago, it shows we are making waves to be back to the people to lead this country.
“We [governors] are the leaders of this party. We have a say and whatever we say is what would be implemented.
“There is nothing really wrong with the PDP. The ongoing crisis is normal and it happens like that in other parties too. So, it is nothing new. It is one of those things.
“This will make us even stronger because we need to learn from certain mistakes and that will be a learning process.
“Governor Makinde is my very good friend and it is an obligation for me to come and commiserate with him and his entire family on the loss of his older brother. I am also here with my team.
“Death is inevitable and we are here to comfort and tell him that we are with him in this trying moment.”
