He cited the longevity of the PDP as proof of the party's depth and quality while stressing a need for internal restructuring process aimed at vesting real power in the party in the hands of its teeming members.
Prince Secondus also welcomed Alh. Atiku Abubakar back into the party, even as he extended a hand of fellowship to those who contested with him in the chairmanship race and those who ran for all the other offices, enjoining them all to join hands to work for the greater good of the party and that of Nigeria.
He further expressed deep appreciations and commendation for the work done by the out gone Senator Ahmed Makarfi led National Caretaker Committee and the Convention Planning Committee led by Gov. Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State.
