On the 101st NEC meeting, Yusuf said: “The outcome of our NEC shows that in spite of whatever is going on we need to sit down and jaw jaw and channel our energy towards making the party more robust.

” Leadership is not just giving people instruction is the ability to resolve issues , so yes it took a long time but finally we killed all the knotty issues and I remember also when so much was orchestrated about us and I tell people that I don’t see PDP being disabled because of these crises and that we will come out of it stronger, our challenge had always been people who do not believe in the ideals of the party or see the party only as a vehicle to achieve political ambitions and it is not out of place.

“So, there are politicians who just assume that the moment the situation does not favour them they move out. And I keep telling people, when you leave a house because of issues, who told you there are no issues in the other house you are going to?

“Is there any human organisation without challenges? Families. So, you cease to be a member of your family because there are issues. So, I believe – I’m not seeing PDP in that way like a cult or whatever. I mean, free exit and free entry.

“However, there should be some degree of commitment. So, that’s why I kept saying that we are not, as a people, Nigerians, politically develop democratic ideals and values and party ideology.

“Why are you in party A? It’s because I believe so-so policies of the party. That’s my interest. So, it won’t be that easy for you to jump. That’s what we call in the university, we call something like jumpology. If you call me jumpology, if it’s not here, we are back here.

“And if you observe, even the scriptures say it, there is need for consistency. The Bible talk about having done all that you need to do. Stand in due season. It is not in your hand to know due season. It’s the hand of God.

“You do your part, but you move. I don’t want to go into individuals because, I mean, you are out, you are out. Let’s focus on our party.
