Her words:

“From what I gathered, the leadership of our party’s national campaign council is planning a virtual meeting with all candidates nationwide, similar to what happened on Sunday between the NASS candidates and our presidential candidate.
"The only difference is that it’s a virtual meeting and it will involve all the candidates contesting difference offices in Nigeria."

She retreated that, the PDP is not just holding the meeting with its candidates, but wants to use the opportunity to tell the smaller parties that political structure is what determines victory in all elections.
