According to him, ” We have disagreed among ourselves. Now is the time for us to forgive and forget. We are not enemies; we are brothers. In brotherhood, we shall contest and win. So I call on our elders, leaders and fellow aspirants to strengthen and expand this winning train.
“While assuring party members across the state of his determination to lead the party to victory, Senator Adeleke repeated his earlier red card to Governor Gboyega Oyetola, adding ” the game is up for the usurper in the Abere Government House.
