PDP not dead---- Aliyu

                 According to him, “Our party is not dead. When all these cools down, we will properly re-organize to bring PDP back to its formidable political strength. Many things have happened and this is not the time for us to cast blames.”

“I therefore hope that the time we will have to re-organize our party we would add more ideology to what we have. Let me urge you to stop thinking you have failed. In terms of elections, particularly the time we found ourselves, it went beyond the limits of individual effort”.
