I'M READY TO SERVE AS NATIONAL SECRETARY OF OUR GREAT PARTY

Dear Distinguished Delegates,

It is not borne out of sheer ambition, but it comes straight from my innermost conviction that I can serve our great Party, the PDP, diligently, with wit and intelligence, as National Secretary.

I come prepared. Academically qualified, I've served my home State as a teacher, grassroots mobiliser, youth mentor, and Commissioner, among others.

As a Minister at the Federal level and a Senator of the Federal Republic. I have remained steadfast in my belief in, and loyalty to our great Party since 1998 when the Party was founded.

I am resilient that our tomorrow will be better. I desire to be part of the Team that will not only redeem our Party, but shoot us back into relevance as the Party at the centre.

I believe I can do it, if you give me your support to run and serve as National Secretary of our great Party.

Thank you for your anticipated endorsement.

I am, your sister,

Senator Nenadi Usman
