"As leaders, we have a solemn duty to unite our people. Therefore, we call on all leaders and members of the Delta State APC to come together and heal our Party. Our Party has immense electoral and governance promises and potentials. We need everyone to deliver on these promises and harness the potentials. We cannot allow the past internal differences to harm us further. We are comrades in genuine, patriotic pursuit of good governance for our people. We are not mortal enemies. We must never allow anyone of us to suffer exclusion, deprivation, or harm for whatever position they may have held during the pendency of our challenges. Putting the past behind. Let us march forward with a positive spirit of brotherhood", the statement added.
