“We are proud of the leadership of our party for their role in reconciling the aggrieved members. I urge our candidates to reconcile with every aggrieved aspirant. Doing this will help the party to achieve victory at the polls.

“You have been given the ticket to contribute your quota to the development of the state. We have three tiers of government. The president is doing his bid at the federal level. You can see his achievements. You can see what the Lagos state governor is doing. The onus is on you to replicate these achievements at the grassroots.

“If you perform very well, you will be considered for another term in office. In whatever you do, carry your vice chairman along because your vice chairmen are not spare tires.

“Give your leaders the respect they deserve. If you listen to them, you will be able to win the hearts of voters. We are going all out for this election. This is the real elections. We must work with LOC and the party chairman and canvases during the campaign.”
