 Now the national leadership of the People's Democratic Party has apologized to the aggrieved members of the party in Ikita State over the past actions and irregularities that pushed them out. The FPG National Chairman's Southwest Zone, Taufiq Arakpada, tendered the apology while receiving thousands of the aggrieved party members who joined SDP prior to the Ikita State's governorship election. Arakpada appealed to the party members to let go of the past and work together as one to secure victory for the party in the 2023 presidential election. Earlier, the senator representing Ikita South's sanitary district, Biodun Ulujimi, noted that PDP had learnt from its mistakes and urged their aggrieved members to return to their words and begin mobilization for the party. Others at the event appealed to residents of Ikita State to commence aggressive mobilization for the emergence of former vice president and presidential candidate of the PDP, Atiku Aboboka. During the last gubernatorial election, coming back again, if they are not comfortable with what is on ground, they won't be here. But today they are here. And just last week, some of us, PDP stakeholders in Ikita State, we met and we all agree that the party must move forward. But see what we have done to our state. This state will not be PDP. Please don't go to the events, don't care what has gone in the past. We all go to it and must confess to you. I'm one of them. It's not your fault. It is our fault. And on behalf of all the leaders, including the national chairman and all the members of the VUC and our leader here, President, and even the great Gondoseli Gondi, Chairman Manchou, we are all alive.
