3. We have toiled from 2013 to date ( a period of five years ) and have made sacrifices & lost lives  in course of enthroning the kind of government we want in Rivers State; a government that will guarantee peace , unity and prosperity. In course of the struggle we bonded as  one indivisible family under God.
4. The decision by the Leader has been meet with mixed reactions, which is expected. My appeal is that  we allow the greater interest of APC & RVS to prevail .
5. To those who believe in the vision   I shared  in the past 5  years , the leadership I gave at various times & the path of loyalty to the cause I have chosen over time , I urge  you all to stand by the Leader, the party and the ordinary people of rivers state in support of TDC . I personally pledge my loyalty to the Leader (who is to me family ) and the decision he has made . I enjoin all my supporters to queue behind our leader CRA & ensure total victory for our party.
