“They have delayed us. If we take it by calculations it will be February that we will have our flagbearer.”

He asked the people to be patient and assured them that the Slpp do not have the power to stop them from choosing who they want as flagbearer.

He added that even if they get their flagbearer in may, the APC will win, adding that it is just a waste of time to attempt to fight with them.

“Be rest assured that It is a waste of time. whatever we want, whoever the people want is who we will choose.”
