of his presidential aspiration.

democracy.

members of the National Assembly for their zeal to fight for sustaining
democracy.

that our democracy is not truncated,” he said.

the use of government institutions to fight oppositions.

those who abuse government institutions.

restructured beginning with an additional state for the South East to address

resource control and state police will be looked into.
“The PDP believe in restructuring more than any other
group and will be guarantee this through the Constitution, if I am elected,”
Turaki, who solicited their support, stressed.
In his remarks, the state chairman of the party, Chief
Ndubuisi Nwobu commended the aspirant for his leadership qualities as the
National Vice Chairman of the party, North East zone.
Nwobu said the defection by some members of the National
Assembly to PDP had given the party a boost in the state.
