He said Wike’s “sound leadership acumen” had brought respite to the party, urging stakeholders and supporters of the party “to rally around the Wike to bring needed harmony to the party”.
“Our forum has observed with great relief the successful conduct the National Convention of our great party last Sunday.
“We observe the cooperation shown by various leaders of the party towards ensuring that the convention is held without much ado.
“While thanking stakeholders and members of our party across the federation, we have to particularly appreciate the leadership acumen of Ezenwo Nyeson Wike, Honorable Minister of the Federal Capital and national leader of PDP.
“Our leader has shown that he has the wherewithal to rally our party together and forge a path towards revival.
“We also declare that where Wike leads, we follow,” Abonu, stated.
