“I am a Nigerian who believes in the unity of the country. I remain patriotic despite the humiliation I had suffered in my 35 years of service.

 

“The unity of Nigeria is not negotiable and the Action Alliance has the structures to unite the country, being the party for the masses, with members across the country.”

 

Odupitan, after the poll, congratulated Al-Mustapha for the victory and pledged to work with him.

 

The retired Army officer expressed delight with the show of love he received from his party executives, members, and the delegates.

 

He promised not to disappoint the trust they reposed in him if he eventually win the presidential election next year.
