He said the true identity of the PDP was not that of an opposition but of a strong and ruling party.

Tella lamented that the party had gone through a series of underserved traumas, various forms of unnecessary internal friction, and judicial interventions.

He said: “I must say that our true identity is not that of opposition but getting back to our heritage of a ruling party, is imminent and must happen at the next polls.

“We must inevitably ascribe the success of today’s congress to various eminent people who made themselves available to be instrumental to this God’s project.

“Ogun state PDP will be proudly rejuvenated, rebuilt, rejigged, and repositioned for success in the coming polls by the grace of God.

“We need ourselves, and working together again should not be difficult or impossible.

“The 2027 project is the major item in the agenda of this newly elected executive and it requires all hands on desk.”
