APC is one and we have no division in the party.
“Let me use this medium to appeal to all our members to accept each other and to also tolerate one another. This is the only way we can be victorious in this state. Internal issues like this help to strengthen our bond of faithfulness as members of the same party. It’s never a weakness that other political parties should count upon any day. Internal struggles like this are not only peculiar or common to our party but to all political parties.
“Our major focus in Delta state is to win the state and take it from the mis-rule and corrupt government of the PDP. In a nutshell, to answer your question, the reconciliation process is taking shape. We shall see the effects so soon. Thank you!.”

Whatever I’m giving out to my people today, I passionately plead with them to kindly receive same from me and my family with love and kindness.
“There is no way I can eat without my people. They make me what I’m today politically. I can’t run away from them. They are great party members. In our usual character, we don’t share our food for only our party members. We don’t share our food only on party lines. We usually give to community leaders because they are the mouth piece of the people. We have nothing against anybody. Everybody is our person and we dine and wine with them all,” he stated.
