In his reaction, the house of representatives hopeful, Mr. Dele Philips said the level of support being received from both party leaders and followers have kept the hope alive.
He assured that the people would witness a great difference when given the opportunity to represent them at the Green Chambers.
Mr. Philips stressed that empowerment programmes and projects to be carried out in the constituency would be executed transparently with the involvement of the stakeholders.
“I will ensure that the party leaders, especially the delegates are given sense of belonging. They will be treated as the real shareholders and owners of the party unlike when they are abandoned after elections,” Philips added.
