The Chairman of the

Jibrin also said that the would not allow any person to buy his way into office.

“This party is not for sale. This party must be a party of very conscious people. We are telling every delegate to reject anybody that comes with money,” he said.

“This party will not want somebody that will come and buy his way into office. The BoT will no longer accept any leadership to be forced on the party.

“We have been playing, the party is supreme, the party is above all of us. If you read our constitution it solves all these problems but today we are facing a myriad of court cases.

“We are, however, looking at reconciliation chaired by Prof. Jerry Gana so we can look into the arguments and by God’s grace, before the convention, settle these matters.

“We do hope that justice will be done and people will come to their senses. We’ve passed the era of impunity, selfishness and will go by fairness and justice,” he added.
