He expressed optimism that ‘’the leadership trial confronting the party, shall soon become a thing of the past.’’
“I equally enjoin you to cooperate and support our respective governors.
“Our Governors can only do better when we throw
our unflinching support behind them patiently. Empowerment is a serial thing; it will definitely get to everyone.’’
