“As a party, this decision is taken in furtherance of our commitment to build a formidable frontier in preparation for the future elections.

“So, today’s inauguration is another testament to the commitment of the party to be open to all. This is coming as part of the recommendations of the Guideline Committee that suggested to the party to set up these three committees which we are inaugurating today in order for every member of the party to be on board for the challenges ahead.

“Before you are chosen, we know that you are responsible, disciplined, loyal and highly committed, so, it is incumbent on you to bring these to bear in the discharge of this assignment.

Kindly, discharge your responsibility with utmost loyalty, honesty and fear of God.

“Be open to all, and for those that are willing to return to the party, don’t hesitate to reach out to them. We have hope in God as we are prepared to return to the government come 2026.

“I want to assure you of our leader’s support, the Honourable Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Alhaji Adegboyega Oyetola, as we believe strongly that you would not disappoint us.

“So, the work of the next gubernatorial election has started, we must not relent. It is time to buckle up and commit ourselves to things that would strengthen the party in the interest of all”, he added .
