Chief Oni appeals to all members of the PDP from the other side to please shield their sword and allow all of us to come together as a family so as to achieve victory together for the party.
This, he said, is without prejudice to the pending court case. He believes we must all strive to find a middle way out of this quagmire as members of the same political family.
Chief Oni also directs all his supporters not to throw any tantrum on any leader or member of PDP under any circumstance whatsoever in any media and to completely ignore any reaction from APC unless it is absolutely necessary to respond.
