According to him, “I want to thank Stanley and Paul and members, I don’t want to be using that word liberation and consolidation, it just looks as if we are a divided family, for Paul and Stanley, I’d like to thank you and your supporters for yielding the call for peace, if both of you and your supporters did not agree, we won’t be here this morning.
“I am here just to celebrate the peace that we have found in NUJ Rivers State council.
“For those who know me, I don’t know how to mix words, as many that came to me while this family misunderstanding was going on, I made my position, as the father of the union by God’s special grace, Stanley here is my person, Paul here is my person, let the better candidate win, and I think that’s a position a good father will take when your two children are contesting an election.
“We should not allow the devil escalate the misunderstanding of a family. We have had our misunderstanding, by God special grace, we have resolved our misunderstanding.
