Ogungbenro added that Governor Makinde has not rubbished the party saying, “we are proud of his achievements and like he said to me recently when we had our state congress, that I should raise the bar of the public image of this party. we are working on that we will do that”
Speaking on the the aggrieved members, he noted that the party is already resolving the problem adding that it’s a gradual process and it would be resolved as soon as possible.
