“Your support through the press statements, through interventions and the rallies held across the country helped in ensuring that what was masterminded by some losers hellbent on making Nigeria a one party state was stopped and I assure you that your support will not be in vain.
“We assure you as your governors that we shall continue to work together in unity and with the National Working Committee in ensuring that the programmes of the party, especially in our respective states in line with our manifestoes, are implemented. And we shall also continue to support the party in its drive for membership and development,” he stated
