Nigerian main opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has apologised to Nigerians for what was described as mistakes made while the party was in power prior to the 2015 general elections, the National Chairman of the party, Mr Uche Secondus said this while delivering a keynote address at a national discourse in Abuja.
Giving a keynote speech on Monday, at an event in Abuja with the theme: Nation-building: Resetting The Agenda, he admitted that while the party did its best while in government, it was not void of mistakes.
According to Mr Secondus, the ability to admit one’s mistakes is the key to moving forward. He, therefore, appealed to Nigerians to put all the party’s wrongs behind and support it in the coming elections.
He said: “I hereby admit that the People’s Democratic Party made many mistakes and it is human, we are not spirits. The ability to admit is a key for moving forward, it is a key for learning. We admit that we have made several mistakes. We also admit that by the grace of God, we have passed through all our challenges, with experience that no other party can boast of.
“Consequently, we were roundly sanctioned by Nigerians, occasioning our loss at the polls in 2015. Let me seize this opportunity to apologise for our past mistakes.”
