The former governor noted that the party would not shield any peace violators.

“If any of you does anything that is inimical to peace, we will allow the law to take its cause.

“I know APC members as peace-loving people. I want you to maintain the tempo, no matter the amount of provocation,” he said.

He commended them for the high level of decorum shown when their billboards were being destroyed in the state.

“Their posters and billboards are everywhere and nobody touches them, but when our own are erected, they destroy them,” he said.

Wamakko appealed to the leaders of other parties to emulate the gesture.
