Not less than two (2) Local Government Chapters of our PDP are now in court to seek redress. This is a misnomer that has never happened before in our State Chapter of PDP.

6. THE WAY OUT
It is commonly said "it's always necessary to strike when the iron is still hot"
Be it as it may, our lackluster attitude is not helping matters even though many of those who could assist in calming down tensed nerves have either attributed the lackadaisical reaction of our PDP to the pressure of COVID19 PANDEMIC and the health of our numero uno whom by the grace of God almighty has resumed duty. We thank God almighty for His benevolence.
