That plan to win, the ability to execute the plan is with the leadership of this council, which it is going to provide in the campaign efforts. I urge you to leave no stone unturned. I urge you to go there and do whatever is doable within the laws of Nigeria and our electoral laws to win.”
“My tolerance level and this national working committee level for failure is really really zero. Most of you are statesmen in your own right going by the offices you held before today. But for this exercise take off the big guns, take off the crisp suits and go down the trench and bring that victory we want.Nobody should come back to us crying. Failure is not our own by the grace of God.

“I am happy the secretary of our great party is from Osun state and I think he is very useful to this election in Osun State.
“Some of us who participated in the last election that brought the current governor into office, we knew the interplay of variables that took place. And that led us to a new terminology in election – inconclusive election.
“I assure you Mr. Chairman, this time this election, will be conclusively conclusive. I believe the stakeholders in Osun State will add value to their preparedness. And ensure that the 30 LGAs in Osun State leadership have all prepared for this election.
“We will take the previous events and unify them and see how things stood at that time. And what variables that went in-between the election and now. And see how we can compete for success because this is our efforts to our party.

So, we want to assure you that this election is a task that must be done within the processes of democracy and also within legal procedures” he ended.
