“They don’t know how democracy functions. The ultimate is how we are going to capture power in 2019.
“By doing so, you can’t remain in captivity, remain in one place. But if people (opposition) don’t know how to come at you, they are confused.
“We are working on how to take Nigerians out of the shackles of poverty and hunger.
“We are concerned with how to rescue the nation. We will continue to do that. We won’t give up."
The PDP also accused President Muhammadu Buhariof ‘destroying the achievements’ of his predecessor, Goodluck Jonathan.
