The statement also praised the Apa community’s support for an Agatu candidate in the 2019 election, despite having one of their own sons as a candidate.
“We have not forgotten your remarkable gesture in 2019… That sacrifice was not just political, it was a statement of trust and goodwill,” the statement read.
