Any public officeholder who desires to reach and keep his place at the top of his political career must be prepared to do so the hard way.

Twenty-seven days to the February 25 presidential election, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) hasn’t found a common ground with its five governors opposed to the National Chairman, Iyiorcha Ayu.
