Dr. Okwesilieze Nwodo, CON |
My fellow democrats, we all know that politics is a game of numbers. We need people. This is a People's Democratic Party. We are anchored on the people. People for membership, people for votes, people for solving the problems of Nigeria for all the people of Nigeria.
Fellow democrats, this is the time and here is the place, with our God- given President leading the way, to begin to restore the people's confidence in our great party.
My fellow compatriots, it is the same patriotic spirit that inspired our founding fathers on the 19th day of August 1998 that I invoke in us all today.” That in the irresistible tides of history, there comes a time that individuals must rise and dedicate themselves completely to larger causes, set aside the simplistic notions of selfishness, greed and sectionalism. Such times as we have today in our party, nay in our country, call for the humanity and compassion of men- a deep desire to associate together in the pursuit of nobility of purpose, devotion to duty and dignity in individual existence and love of one's country. |
