——–wants an to bickering within the party<\/p>\n

Senate President Senator David Mark has told Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) faithful to put the failures of the last elections behind them and be prepared to build a strong and united party ready to play a credible opposition .<\/p>\n

” We must accept the ups and downs as an opposition party . That is what the PDP is now. We must remain a united family and face the reality “, Senator Mark told PDP Senators – elect and House of Representatives -elect at a parley in Abuja at the weekend.<\/p>\n

Senator Mark stressed that the not- too impressive showing of the PDP in the last elections may in the long term be a blessing to the party and the nation , ” because we are going back to the drawing board to do a critical review and fashion out a blue print that would get us out of the woods for good.<\/p>\n

“The role of Opposition is strange to us but it is not a death sentence . We should be ready for the challenges.<\/p>\n

” We are prepared to play a credible opposition . I believe the nation and indeed Nigerians would be the best for it.”<\/p>\n

Senator Mark however bemoaned the bickering within and among party faithful all trading blames over the poor showing at the polls, saying ” there is no need weeping over lost opportunities or mistakes of yesterday.The failure of yesterday should be our lesson for a better today and a triumphant future” .<\/p>\n

He called on all stakeholders of the PDP to bury their hatchet and resolve to work together for a United and progressive party for the future.<\/p>\n

Signed:
\nPaul Mumeh, Chief Press Secretary to the President of the Senate.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
