What Sen. Ayu said immediately after becoming PDP National Chairman

The newly-elected National Chairman of the PDP has said the party is ready to take back power from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

“The PDP is back. We are determined. The other one is a contraption. PDP did it before, we will do it again. This is a quit notice to the other party. We are taking back the country. We will develop the country.

“In two weeks’ time, you will see the power that will come back in PDP in every state. A small group of people decided to divide Nigeria. We will unite the country and move ahead to develop this country,” Ayu said.
