"God did not allow them. The election was conducted without any interference, distraction and it was peaceful."

He vowed that by the grace of God Almighty, his he and his Executive Committee and the Unit Excos which has just been elected shall turn the wind of progress in favour of the Branch and the national body at large in no distant time by bringing in members who shall work assiduously to increase the number of members and Units in the State within a short period of time to ensure that CDHR takes its pride of place. 

"Today, CDHR is One body, no faction. Anybody who is not Chief A.P. Edariese and Comrade Ejechi.O.
