“We have done our bit and we have taken a retreat to plan ahead, and prepare for the next competition in which Nigerians will judge. PDP will bounce back, it is like a force button which has given us the opportunity to reorganise for future elections and get back our mandate,” he added.
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) lost its 16-year position as Nigeria’s ruling party after Jonathan was defeated by All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate and incumbent President, Muhammadu Buhari.
