 The PDP has assured Nigerians that the party will reclaim its mandate come 2023 general elections. This was disclosed on Saturday by the returning officer for Adamua PDP Congress. He doubles as the deputy governor of Bauchi State. He accused the ruling party of bringing hardship to Nigerians. The PDP is very, very strong. It has always been strong in all the elections from 1999 to date. You can see that of course there are one or two hiccups here and there but that doesn't mean that the strength of the party is reduced in any way. In fact, the party is growing stronger and stronger and stronger by the day and I assure you that by 2023 elections PDP is poised to take more than, more than 70 percent of the states in the federation and of course the national. The returning officer sent into Obabatela express satisfaction with the way and manner the delegates conducted themselves before, during and outside the congress. We have gone around a few words and we have seen the conduct of the election and we have seen the turnout of people and I would say that we are highly impressed with the conduct of the elections, the way people are conducting themselves orderly, without any rancor, without any fight, without any noise and then of course the candidates, the candidates that are looking, that are seeking for the offices are also organized and I think on a general basis we are happy with the conduct of the election and we report same to the national headquarters.
