“I can assure we will ensure we give meaningful leadership to the minority in the Senate,” he said.
Senator Aduda dismissed fears that the defection of the former vice Presidential candidate of the party, Peter Obi to labour party will affect the PDP’s chances in next year’s Presidential election.
“Make no mistake about it, grassroots politics is different from internet politics.
You can have a lot of followership on the internet but when you go to the grassroots it is not so.
“The hype is not what is in the grassroots. It doesn’t matter if Peter Obi is gathering follower-ship because in politics, we lose some and gain some.” He said.
