In order to regain the confidence of the people, the leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has apologized to Nigerians for the mistakes they made during the 16 years they presided over governance in Nigeria.
The party has also admitted that it did not allow proper contest during the primaries that produced former President, Goodluck Jonathan.
The apology was given in a press conference on Tuesday in Abuja by the Chairman of the National Planning Committee of the conference, Dr Raymond Dokpesi.
He said:
“We are aware that there were errors we made. We admit that we made mistakes and we have not met the expectation of Nigerians and we tender unreserved apologies for these mistakes.
“You must have seen Ike Ekweremadu’s report on why we are apologising. There was no internal democracy, there was impunity within the party and there was no level-playing ground for members of the party.
“Zoning principles of the party were abandoned and a gamut of all other issues, which would come out during the conference and for all these and the people who have been offended, for people whose toes were stepped upon, we also tender unreserved apology”.
The party has kick-started series of initiatives to bring it back to reckoning after losing power to the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the last general election. Towards this end, it is organising a national conference in Abuja on Thursday which would involve its founding fathers like Dr. Adamu Ciroma and Dr. Alex Ekwueme to analyse its mistakes and plan the way forward.
They party also condemned what it called the selective anti-corruption war of the present administration, alleging witch-hunt of its members.
