The president admitted that the country was facing some issues but that he allows historical antecedents to guide him.

He said: “I felt I had to invite you to let us eat together and I tell you that I am sitting here very much aware of the problem in this country. I will always reflect on historical antecedents.

“I decided to drop the uniform and come back here (to be President of Nigeria), so I have gone through it over and over again. This is why I am not in a hurry to do anything. I will sit and reflect, and continue to (operate) with my clear conscience."

The president appreciated the APC chieftains for honouring his invitation and that he would not forget their contributions towards his emergence as president.

“I thank you very much for honouring my invitation and I am telling you that if I don’t call you, it is not because, for a moment, I ever forgot how you supported me at one stage or the other over the years," he added.

Meanwhile, Bayelsa chapter of Inter-Party Advisory Committee (IPAC) advised the electorate to vote credible candidates not political parties in the 2019 general elections.

Victor Warinipre, IPAC chairman in the state, gave the advice in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Friday, January 19, in Yenagoa.

“I must urge the voting public to focus on credible candidates in the 2019 elections, this is the only way to move the nation’s democratic system to a high pedestal,” Warnipre said.

He added: “It is old fashion for the electorates to concentrate on choosing leaders from only one political party without looking at the credibility of the candidates involved.”
