It is the only party, that has institutional capacity that is functioning and working- the National Working Committee is working, the Board of Trustees is working, the PDP Governor’s Forum is working; The former governor’s, former ministers and elders of the party are giving their own advise, sharing and bringing their own experiences also on board.”
