“We urge our teeming youths to remain calm and focused in
retrieving our mandate despite the confusion which we see as the agenda of the
opposition. For our candidates to have put up such a performance in the face of
institutionalised collusion between the Independent National Electoral
Commission and the opposition to rig in favour of the latter is heroic and
unprecedented.

“The silence resulting from the sham elections conducted by
the Independent National Electoral Commission in Lagos is palpable. Hence, we
urge all party supporters to support the party’s cause at the tribunals by
providing documents, evidence, and of course through prayer and fasting so that
we can retrieve our various stolen mandate.”
