He said that his administration was rehabilitating all sectors of the economy through its transformation agenda.
“A number of things that Nigerians almost forgot about like railways, we are bringing them back.
“And I believe that by early next year, things will become very obvious that even those who doubt us will not have anything to say.’’ the president said.
He said he was optimistic that by early 2014, it would become obvious to the opposition that the PDP administration was working hard and delivering.
He said that those who think that the PDP could not manage success, would be disappointed at the end.
“And those who continue to think that PDP cannot come together, that PDP cannot manage success, will be terribly disappointed.

He commended the party`s leadership and members across the country, its various committees, governors on the party`s platform and PDP National Assembly members for; “ flying the party`s flag’’.

He assured that the party leadership would reconcile all aggrieved party members for the betterment of all.
The President maintained that what was paramount in the face of every grievance and disagreement was the ability to resolve such, which he said the PDP has.
