Bakita urged party members to set aside internal differences and work together for the common goal of electoral victory.

The meeting had in attendance several notable leaders of the party, including former Deputy Governor Omolade Oluwateru; former governorship candidate, Barr. Eyitayo Jegede, SAN; PDP Board of Trustees member, Olorogun Eddy Olafeso; Barr. Ola Mafo; Chief Segun Adegoke; and former State Chairman, Hon. Clement Faboyede, among others.
