For the second time in one week, the National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Bamanga Tukur, yesterday charged all governors on the platform of the party to win all their states for the party in 2015. Tukur made this declaration after a private meeting with some former members of the National Assembly in his Abuja residence. The PDP Chairman also cautioned the governors on the platform of the party not to glory in their successes but return same to the party which gave them the platform to serve.

According to him, his recent reconciliation tour of the country afforded him he opportunity to assess the performances of the governors which made him to come to the conclusion that PDP governors are actually the best in the country. He said most of the PDP governors have indeed been implementing the party's manifesto on Education, Infrastructure, Agriculture, Rural Development, Power Generation, Transportation, Aviation and others.

Tukur also cautioned the PDP governors never to fall pray to the antics of praise singers and adulators.

He said, "if you are performing and everybody acknowledges it, it is not you who should take the credit, but the PDP. It is the party that gave you the platform to serve and so the party's name, like a label, must be attached to every achievement you made.

"The best performing governors are in PDP, no doubt. I took note of this during the reconciliation tour we made, and I also got reports on their day-to-day performances and to me, we must give the PDP the credit."
