members of our great party – the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) – that I
remain committed to the ideals of the party,” Jagaba said assuring his
supporters that PDP is home.
“Therefore, with my campaign team which is still intact, we shall work
assiduously for the success of the party and our candidates at all levels

have the intention of defecting from PDP, is to be taken as lies from the
pit of hell being bandied by merchants of mischief, and accordingly,
should be discountenanced,” Jagaba insisted.

vibrant, cohesive, pragmatic, resilient and issues based campaigns in the
history of the Senatorial District.”
“My teeming supporters who conducted themselves with candour and dignity
all through the campaigns are most wonderful and I salute their courage,
maturity and doggedness,” the statement added.
