The former governor reacted
to rumours that he might be stepping down for Olabode George, who was as a
former National Deputy Chairman of PDP, but he said that he will see the race
to a logical conclusion.
Former Governor of Ogun
State, Gbenga Daniel, who is also a national chairmanship aspirant of Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) had yesterday said that he had no plan of stepping down
for any of the other aspirants.
“All the aspirants for this position are my
friends and competent people but I am the bridge builder and the best man for
the job.
“I will not step down for
anyone because I did my consultations during our convention in Port Harcourt
and I know so many leaders in Yoruba land who support me.
“People contest for various
reasons. Some people contest to enrich their curriculum vitae, some contest to
get donations while some run to win.
“It is not a do-or-die
affair. It is an in-house contest and I’m running to win so as to bring my
experiences to bear on the party and work on re-positioning the party,” he
said.
He said with 2019 around
the corner, the PDP cannot afford to make mistakes when choosing its leaders
because it is also relevant to the rebuilding of the party.
“PDP is spread across the
length and breadth of Nigeria. The fragmentation in the party cuts across all
political parties in Nigeria.
“However, most of our
members who defected to other parties left, due to the internal challenges
within it.
“The moment those who leave
see a new leadership committed to fairness and justice, they will return’’ the
former governor said.
