While identifying what he described as “sharing formula” as the major challenge confronting the party, Tukur urged the stakeholders to embrace peace and harmony as well as imbibe the spirit of sacrifice as that was the only way the party could retain its status as a truly national party that respects the yearnings and aspirations of the people.
