Former Senate President Bukola Saraki has declared that there is no victor and no vanquished in the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.<\/p>\n

Saraki said the conduct of the 100th National Executive Committee, NEC, meeting of the Peoples Democratic Party was an indication that Nigeria and democracy had won.<\/p>\n

Despite the interruption by men of the Nigeria Police Force yesterday at the PDP National Secretariat, the party still held its NEC meeting.<\/p>\n

Speaking on the outcome of the meeting, Saraki said members agreed to ensure unity within the party.<\/p>\n

In a statement he signed, Saraki said: \u201cThis evening, our great party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), successfully concluded the 100th edition of its National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a symbolic gathering, as the meeting could have either been the breaking point, going by events of the last 48 hours, or the junction to cross the Rubicon and march forward into greater heights. Our esteemed leaders chose the latter.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday, there was no victor and no vanquished. The winner today is the PDP. Another winner is Nigeria\u2019s democracy because, without a vibrant opposition, democracy dies.<\/p>\n

\u201cAgain, millions of our party members and supporters, who are located in all the 774 LGAs across the country, also emerged winners.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo achieve victory for the party and the great people under its golden umbrella, all the leaders at the meeting resolved to jettison our differences and rally together to pursue a common goal: forget the past, rebuild trust that might have been broken, and give peace a chance.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am particularly happy about the meeting for two reasons. One, we all agreed on the need for unity as a way of sending a signal to the entire nation that the PDP can only wax stronger.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is because we have to live up to the expectations of the generality of our people as the only alternative capable of providing good leadership to our country. Two, the spirit of give and take dominated our frank discussions.\u201d<\/p>\n
