“As former director General of the of Governors forum, I have witnessed credible congresses in the past across many states in the country. What happened yesterday indicate despiration and lack of empathy for the faithful PDP members… Strangers wants to kidnap the party…we will resist. it. No body can intimdate me and the other aspirants.”

Onaiwu further criticized the lack of transparency and adherence to acceptable standards set by the PDP national. He deemed the Congress a “hogwash” that did not meet the required transparency standards of the party. Additionally, Onaiwu highlighted the fact that nine out of ten aspirants voiced their concerns about the Congress’s conduct, suggesting that it did not reflect the will of the people.
