One or two persons may not be happy but it doesn\u2019t mean that tomorrow they will not be happy.<br \/>\n\u201cI want to specially thank the leaders of APC from the ward Congress to the state level. They have stood with the party, one or two complaints here and there but the spirit of oneness and togetherness and for the interest of the party, they have to sacrifice, so that we can have the best.<br \/>\n\u201cI want our President to note that our party, APC in Ebonyi state is a great party and when positions are to be shared, you have to look at the tenacity of the party in each state.
