We are in the process of welding all the various tendencies into one and today we have score one major victory and I can assure the country that the party has begun the process of healing all the wounds and becoming one strong force. We are moving from being a movement into a one strong political party that will back the President for the good of the entire country”.
Regarding the crisis in the Senate Oyegun said: “The Senate is a different level and different situation. It is totally different because we have a sore thumb in the form of a PDP Deputy Senate President.
“So I think it is totally different and the approach and the way we are going to handle the situation will be totally different. But at the end of the day even the Senate issue will be sorted out too”.
