"I have not come here to antagonize anybody neither have I come here to attack anybody. But to attack your consciences with all sense of humility as an appeal that you use your conscience on that day of the primaries.

In her address, the PDP women leader in Ohimini, Elizabeth Egbu who spoke on behalf of the dignitaries said it is important that the people of Benue south support Ogaji.
