COURT VERDICT: A NO VICTOR,NO VANQUISH SITUATION.

Comments emanating from the Appeal Court Verdict of yesterday which authenticated the Sir John Ochala led Executive Committee of the APC in Cross River State has observably been rife thus expressing the concern of members for the strength of the party. However,we are particularly irked by the level of sentiments from some members who   see the judgement as an occasion for hauling venom or tantrums at our brothers in the other divide. We have to state unequivocally that the beauty of democracy consist in the divergence of opinions which those brothers in the other divide expressed in going to court (even though against the party's statutes and precerpts) Against this backdrop, we call for restrain in the outright attack of the tendencies of those members.
We insist that those members are still part and parcel of our great party,as we have no other party than ours.
On this note, the State Executive Committee of the party has declared that for the purpose of uniting every interest the judgement was a "No Victor,No Vanguish" situation.
Our brothers from the other divide are therefore urged to close the gap of whatever divide that has existed in the overall Interest of the collective victory of the party in the Northern Senatorial District bye election(to start with) and subsequent ones.
We have also one important message for our members;to realize that we need our brothers from the other divide to be part of the planning and implementation of every strategy that will lead our party to those elections victory.
We believe that together,we will achieve a lot beyond what our frailties and disunity would fetch us.
The National Peace and Reconciliation Committee led by Chief Bisi Akande would have no business coming to the state if we are seen in the light of unity and concern for the party.
 Our strength,which should come from our unity would then be directed at confronting our opponents in other parties to throw us up as a victorious Army in all elections forthcoming.
 Congratulations to all of us for the No Victor,No Vanguish position of the verdict.
God bless you all.
