We’ll capitalise on APC’s mistakes in C’River – PDP

From Aniekan Aniekan, Calabar

The state chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Cross River State, Venatius Ikem, says his party will take advantage of the mistakes of the APC- led administration in the state and transform it to victory. He disclosed this at the party’s secretariat in Calabar while inaugurating a 20-man committee to plan the state congress of the party.

He said his party had total control of a senatorial district in the state and needed another district to claim victory.

“We need to focus our energy on what we are doing in our state, take advantage of the mistakes APC, reposition our party and transform it to victory.

“We have total control of the northern senatorial district and will remain impenetrable. What we need is another senatorial district and we are done,” he said.

The state chairman also emphasised that despite the challenges facing the party at the national level, it still boasts of very credible people emphasising that it’s challenges were superficial and in due season they would fizzle out.

He stressed that the PDP at this time was a place for people who had the conviction and courage to serve the party.

He described the congress committee headed by Prof. Zana Akpagu as a galaxy of stars as it sent a message about the quality of people still in the Cross River chapter of the party. In his reaction, Prof. Akpagu said the committee accepted the responsibility and the import of the assignment.

“We wholeheartedly accept this responsibility. We know the import of this task and we are not taking this assignment for granted,” he said.
