Speaking further, Honourable Adebutu stated that the focus of party members should be how to bring back the PDP in line with the vision of the founding fathers which is deeply rooted in rural participation and collective ownership.
“The foundation of the democracy our country enjoys today was laid by the wise men of PDP and nurtured by the doggedness of our countrymen and women; history will also be kind to PDP as our party helped to sustain and preserve the sacrifices of these heroes against all odds. This has been made possible as a result of the principle of collective ownership by the founding fathers of this party, and this must be sustained.”
He therefore appealed to the new Chairman of the party, Senator Ali Modu Sheriff, that “with great power comes greater responsibility. The power bestowed upon him comes with lots of headache but he should look beyond the pains and see criticisms as the concern of fellow party members who desire the betterment of the party. PDP needs peace, unity and shared ideology, he should see himself as the biblical Moses anointed to take the party to the promised land.” he said.
