I charged the SEC members to work with cooperation with leaders of the party who are not necessarily the executives of the party but all those leaders who have contributed in one way or the other in enhancing the growth and development of the party. There must be cooperation between leaders and the executives.
“I also appeal to SEC members to further agreed to engage on an aggressive members drive across the state in order to strengthen the party and make it the party to beat in the Edo 2024 gubernatorial election.
“Today, I already scheduled to meet all the leaders and support leaders of the party across the state as well as various support groups built around the presidential candidate as well as members of the former Presidential Campaign Council.
