Senate President, David Mark told Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to put the failures of the last elections behind them and be prepared to build a strong and united party, ready to play a credible opposition.
Mark, in a statement in Abuja, stated this at a meeting with PDP Senators and House of Representatives members-elect in Abuja.
“We must accept the ups and downs as an opposition party. That is what the PDP is now. We must remain a united family and face the reality.”
“The not too impressive showing of the PDP in the last elections may, in the long term, be a blessing to the party and the nation.”
“We are going back to the drawing board to do a critical review and fashion out a blue print that would get us out of the woods for good.
“The role of opposition is strange to us but it is not a death sentence. We should be ready for the challenges. We are prepared to play a credible opposition. I believe the nation and indeed Nigerians will be the best for it,” he said
“There is no need weeping over lost opportunities or mistakes of yesterday. The failure of yesterday should be our lesson for a better today and a triumphant future,” he added.
