They made various demands bordering on the peculiar needs of their communities and people, while describing the PDP as a good party that is capable of putting an end to the killings going on in the country.

The leaders of the non-indigene communities disclosed that the performance of the Ayodele Fayose-led government in the state had given them the assurance that they would have a good deal under his deputy.
