The former Federal Lawmaker appealed to aggrieved parties to allow peace to reign in the party and make unity a tool to achieve Victory.

On the issue of decamping from the party, Chief Akande admonished party faithfuls to remain focused and not be distracted by those mischievous moves.
Recall that some few members of Party have resigned their membership, the numbers , the stakeholders claimed was insignificant to affect the fortunes of the party.
“We are united and we remain focused and stronger to achieve success and deliver PDP during the forthcoming election”. Noq
Akande added that “We are aware of the resignation of some members of our party from this great party and we are sure that they will come back and join us in no distant time.
“I want to be particular about the exit of the most recent of them all from our party. His decision to join another party is an unwise one considering the fact that he wasn’t a major actor or contributor in the party but he only came to the party and luck made him to reap from our party and he harvested from the labours of previous actors”.
“I make bold to say that he started his life of affluence through the benefits he got from being a member of our party but today he is claiming to be resigning from the party with his supporters that he deceived by inviting them to attend a get together that he dubiously turned to a decamping ceremony”
“They said most recent of the Decampee came from behind to snatch opportunities that would have been for major stakeholders in the past. For Him to Leave PDP is a sign that an ingrate has left Kogi PDP and we will only miss him for the way he used to deceive our people just to become the leader of PDP in Mopamuro LGA”.
The well attended meeting according to Dayo Akande is a Testimony that People’s Democratic Party is alive and stronger in Mopamuro LGA and Yagba Federal Constituency in general.
