The chairman said: “Let us go back to our polling booths, we are managers there; we should deliver our polling units to PDP.

In his acceptance speech, Alimi said that there was a huge task ahead for the committee to deliver for PDP.
While calling for unity of purpose, Alimi said: “I am assuring you that we shall not leave anybody behind.
“Let us move out to spread the gospel and reconcile with those we have disagreement with.”
