Obi while thanking the Oba for his fatherly role, said the nation can only be great if there are free, fair and credible elections.

He said he believes that with the prayers of the Oba, the party could make a headway as it begins campaigns ahead of the September 21 governorship election in the state.

Governorship candidate of the party, Olumide Akpata, said he was at the palace with the national leadership of the party to seek the Oba’s blessings and inform him that he was commencing his campaigns.

Akpata said it would be very wrong for him to go on with his campaigns without him visiting for his blessings.
