“We also wish to thank His Excellency Dr. Alex Otti the executive governor of Abia State, His Excellency our party leader Mr. Peter Obi and all the party leaders and stakeholders who answered the clarion call to assemble in Umuahia to take the initiative to rescue our party from eminent collapse by filling the vacuum with competent and capable hands led by Sen. Nenadi Usman to midwife the process of repositioning the party.”
