“As supporters, we must communicate responsibility, avoid misinformation, and engage the people with facts, respect, and humility,” he said.
The National Coordinator said leadership should not be reduced to political positions, stressing that those entrusted with leadership must be accountable to the people.
“We must also remember that leadership is not about title. Leadership is about service, sacrifice, accountability, and result,” he said.
He said the organisation would work across the Niger Delta states to promote unity and peaceful political engagement ahead of the 2027 elections.
