He described the organization as responsible and law abiding, stating however that the injunction has caused inconveniences to the organization, candidates and delegates who have traveled from far and near to participate in the excercise.
Oyakemeagbegha who also praised participants in the electioneering process for maintaining decorum and orderliness throughout the preparation period and the subsequent restraining injunction called on supporters of various candidates in the polls to continue being at their best.
He said: “I want to thank all candidates and delegates for their orderliness and massive support throughout the INC’S electioneering period.
“Even though there is an interim court injunction restraining the conduct of the polls, all candidates and delegates have followed the path of peace and orderliness.
“Izon means truth and so candidates and delegates have continued to eschew bitterness, and have continued to maintained peace and sportsmanship”.
