The leaders however praised Chief John Oyegun, for his honesty and bravery in the management of the party as well as his inclusive strategy, they also advised the national chairman of the party and former governor of Bayelsa State, Chief Timipre Sylva to look away from Kpodo and his friends and get on with important matters.

"In any system, there are always destroyers. Oyegun and Sylva should look away from these destroyers. Kpodo and his co - travellers are just executing a carefully designed plan to discredit Sylva and destabilise the party to further their selfish ends," the leaders said.
