Thanking the Minister for the reconciliation, Abe said, "He could have behaved like other politicians, made peace with me, and still encourage me, Tony and others to continue fighting, but his style is direct, truthful and sincere, and it will create a united team".
He said the disagreements within the APC is over and gone for good, because the oxygen for conflict has been extinguished.
"It may take a little while but the end result is that all those with us, who sincerely wish us well will go with us and tow the path of unity because we all know that it is the right way to go,” he said.
The former Senator also thanked Okocha for the warm reception accorded him, reiterating, “my home is in the APC, therefore, let’s come together as everyone will benefit from us working together.”
He emphasized the need to face the economy and support President Bola Tinubu’s government to succeed for the benefits of all Nigerians.
