He said the National body of APC has already invalidated his suspension from the party, as he advised the two parties to avoid any form of attack and counter attack against each other.

“I am saying it in clear terms that as far as I am concerned we would abide by what the national body says,” he said.

He also said the radio would give the people more access to information on what is happening within and outside their localities.
