``This is not our first crisis, if you go down our history from the formation of the party you will notice that this is not the first time we are having crisis.

``You can remember that the late Sunday Awoniyi had battle of leadership with former Chairman Banabas Gemade.

``We also had crisis during Audu Ogbeh's reign.

``You don't fight for what is not in existence.

``PDP was in power for 16 years and the crisis and fight had always been with us,’’ he said.
