He attested that with Elder Amah , the PDP made tremendous progress during the 1999 election, securing seats at the state house of Assembly and many LGAs and has remained vocal, courageous and fearless in speaking truth to power since PDP lost election in 2023 general elections unlike other party leaders that hid themselves after the party’s loss of the election and became ashamed”.
