Hon. Lawal who attested that the primary election was conducted peacefully,
urged his loyalists to support the winner to demonstrate good faith toward promoting Unity and understanding between members of the party.

According to him the defeat has placed him in a good and better position to embark on his humanitarian service to the people of his constituency irrespective of gender, ethnic or religious inclinations.
