One is indiscipline on the part of some members of our party in most of the states.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe second reason is that the party leadership did not do much between 2015 and 2018 to move the party from being an amalgam of different political parties to become a truly blended progressive political party\u201d Issa-Onilu stated.<\/p>\n<p>He said the next three years are very important as the APC under the leadership of the National Chairman, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole will continue to strengthen compliance with the rules, build support structures for democracy, ensures discipline across board, and deliver good governance for the benefits of all Nigerians.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe expect members who have different agenda to join their kind in PDP.
