“As a party, we must campaign. I just want to recognise something and I must tell the truth.
“What I have noticed in APC in Delta is that we have not inculcated the spirit of winning elections.
“That is what I want us to know today; without that spirit of winning elections, and if you do not win elections, you are nothing,” he said.
