The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has apologised to Nigerians for the several mistakes it made as ruling party for 16 years and begged for forgiveness.
The party ruled the country from 1999 to 2015.
Speaking on the theme, “Nation Building: Resetting the agenda,” Uche Secondus, National chairman of the party, pledged the readiness of the PDP to learn from its mistakes arguing that regardless of what the party failed to do, experience remains the best teacher.
Secondus, who stated this at a public discourse on contemporary politics and governance in Nigeria, organised by the PDP in Abuja, said the party would serve as a rallying point for a new socio-political order ahead of the 2019 general elections.
“The PDP was in power for 16 years and as expected, we made mistakes. We are sorry for our mistakes and when we return, we shall make this country better. We have experience no any other party has it.
“The PDP has embarked on a rescue mission and together we will salvage this nation back from the grip of the incompetent All Progressives Congress (APC),” he said.
