Ebun Francis || Ibrahim Mantu, a former Deputy Senate President on Thursday said the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) should apologise to Nigerians for the way it mismanaged the affairs of the country.
The former deputy Senate President said, “I am now born again. Whatever I say now is the truth. Some people came to the PDP with nothing and left with billions (of naira). We need to bring the party to the people now.
Mantu spoke in Abuja at an event where former Minister of Education Prof. Tunde Adeniran announced his plan to run for PDP national chairman.
He called on stakeholders and members of the party to support Adeniran’s aspiration
According to Mantu, Adeniran is “God’s choice” for the office. He said he consulted God by praying and fasting over Adeniran’s aspiration and that God gave him the revelation.
He said, “I fasted for 30 days and 30 nights, asking God to show me who would lead the party. God showed me Adeniran. Let’s now look forward and make sure that we elect a credible chairman. We should make sure that nobody short-changes us at the national convention.”
He, therefore, admonished members of the party to start taking his words seriously because he had become a “born again” politician, adding that it had become necessary for the PDP to be sober and apologise to Nigerians for the wrongs of the past.
