Indeed if after all these contributions and investments, the party has disqualified him for no apparent reason, then it sends bad signal to others who might be willing to support and sacrifice for the party.
We trust that the NEC is capable of reviewing the unmeritorious decision of the vetting committee to maximize our votes in both the Parliamentary and Presidential elections.
Thank you.
Yours faithfully, Signed. See attached Cc:
