By law and tradition, I remain the flagbearer of our great party and I am ready with God and men to lead PDP to victory.
“The ongoing legal tussle is nothing unusual. Those who headed to court and those who filed appeal petitions are only exercising their rights. In due course, the will of party delegates leading to my candidature will be embraced by all.
