The party leaders while appreciating the urgent need to hold such interface however rejected the Abuja venue so chosen by the South-East zonal leadership of the party.”While we appreciate the necessity to hold a meeting especially to harmonise different interests in the three-man delegate congress, we are concerned that the preferred venue for the meeting is not convenient for a majority of our critical stakeholders and party leaders.
