Tambuwal, while congratulating the party "over the recent Supreme Court verdict", that brought Senator Diri Duoye and his Deputy, Senator  Lawrence Ewhruojakpo, to power, the forum applauded the apex court's Wednesday affirmation of the November 2019 Bayelsa State Gubernatorial Elections.

While ushering Senator Duoye into the meeting and the Forum, the body, noted the communique, "expressed joy that the Supreme Court was not misled to change its earlier judgement."

The party expressed hope that justice will be done in the case of the Imo State Governorship election by returning the rightful winner of the election, Rt Hon Emeka Ihedioha as Governor of Imo State to office.

"We request the Supreme Court to also in the spirit of fairplay, reverse its decision in the Imo State Governorship as a result of the extra-ordinary circumstances that attended the decision," the communique noted.

The forum, added Gov. Tambuwal, also approved the appointment of Gov. Victor Ikpeazu of Abia state as the Deputy Chairman.
