The president said it was the need to keep a united front that the NWC was invested with the power of the National Executive Committee for the time being as requested.

He asked them to follow extant laws and  vote for the candidate that can deliver victory for the party.

The president assured the leadership of the his support and asked them not to hesitate to ask for his support to propel the party to the victory it seeks
