“While we do not have any issues with the rumored choice of Ibagwa Barracks as the PDP Guber primaries venue as long as the intentions are genuine to ensure peace, we wish to state emphatically that any attempt to use that as an opportunity to impose an unpopular aspirant will be met with stiff resistance. We wish to remind this party that the will of the people will always supersede the will of the military.”
