In a statement seen by BusinessDay, Governor Wike said, however, that there is room for reconciliation to make sure the party does well in the general elections in 2023.

“We have never closed the door for reconciliation, that is all we are saying, for equity, justice and fairness, the hallmark of what the party stands for”, Wike said. “if the right thing is done, you will see how the country will know that the election is over.”
