Ayu, in a statement by his Special Adviser, Communication & Strategy, Simon Imobo-Tswam, reiterated the resolve of the party to win the 2023 presidential election and rescue Nigeria.

He said the PDP will produce the most capable candidate that would be acceptable to all.

“He added when people of your quality show interest in our party to run for the presidency, we know that we are the right party to rule this country. We have the quality, and we believe Nigerians will give the PDP the opportunity for one of you to lead the rescue mission, come 2023.

“Ayu carpeted the APC-led Federal Government for turning Nigeria into a debtor-nation for no justifiable reason and for committing over 90 percent of federal revenues to debt-servicing, insisting that You can’t commit your resources to that level of debt servicing and still develop the country.”

PDP national chairman also restated the commitment of the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) to neutrality in the choice of candidates for elective offices.
