He told the President that he and his team would be loyal to him and the party.

It might interest you to know that the crisis rocking th PDP doesn't seem to have abated, as some members of the party walked out of the convention to begin their own faction.
Spearheaded by the likes of former vice-president Atiku Abubakar and Governor Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State, and some other overs, who I hear are planning to set up their own political party.
Meanwhile, the embattled National Chairman of the PDP, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur has vowed that the Party will 'deal' with those who walked out on the Convention.
