Ologungaba, in a statement, said “The massive public interest and enthusiasm in the on-going exercise is a further confirmation that the PDP remains the Party of choice for Nigerians especially given our robust ideological outlook, internal democracy, inclusiveness and commitment to the wellbeing of Nigerians as evident in PDP’s unmatched record of performance in governance, which has been sustained by PDP Governors across the country.
