He said despite the internal crisis rocking the party, he emphasized that the PDP has the experience, policies, and leadership necessary to foster growth, stability, and progress.
His words: “PDP is a grass root party; we have the experience and the capacity to develop the nation.
“We are happy to see that we are all doing well and we are very grateful to God we are here. As your servants, we are ready to work for our people.
“We are connecting with our leaders across the country and we are not just coming to talk; we learn from each other for the progress of our states”.
Meanwhile, the Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party Governors’ Forum, Senator Mohammed, has praised Governor Sheriff Oborevwori for his significant strides in infrastructural development across the state.
He also applauded other PDP governors for their efforts in advancing their respective states, emphasizing that despite the party’s internal challenges, the PDP remains the preferred choice for Nigerians.
According to him, ”Delta State is awash with projects and it remains the face of PDP in Nigeria. As a party, we are known for projects and good governance because every state you go to you find similar projects.
He expressed gratitude to Governor Oborevwori and the people of the state for their warm hospitality, assuring that the PDP would emerge stronger from its current challenges.
In his welcome remarks, Governor Oborevwori appreciated his fellow governors for their presence and expressed confidence that the party would reach resolutions that would foster unity within the PDP and the nation.
He added, “I warmly welcome all of you, especially my brother governors and your entourage, to Delta State, the Big Heart of the Nation.
