Nekhihare thanked members of the party, supporters, and leaders, for their cooperation and support, during the period of self-audit.
On the 2nd of June, 2021, two-thirds of the State’s Working Committee of the party, asked the chairman, Tony Aziegbemi, to step aside, to enable a proper investigation to be carried out, over allegations of gross misconduct, by brewing unnecessary tension and disunity, among party members in the state, in a manner, akin to bringing the party into disrepute.
