The party called on its members and supporters to endeavour to reach Chief Emmanuel Nweke and encourage him to remain unperturbed and dedicated to the service of God and humanity, as only the Creator of the universe knows the end from the beginning and no harm orchestrated by evil manipulations can harm him.
The party stated that it is a formidable force to be reckoned with come 2023.It warned that any disgruntled elements with ulterior motive, intent nor desire to torment and continue to inflict bad governance on the people will not work.
