THE WHISTLER reports that the PDP has  been making efforts to get its feet back on ground since 2015 when its presidential candidate, former president Goodluck Jonathan, lost his re-election to incumbent President Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

“PDP remains a party of …our dear country today and our commitment at coming together is inevitable to make that work,” said Obi.
