Also speaking, Alhaji Babatunde Ologele from Sawmill branch, Ilorin called on the national leadership of the union under Professor Ibikunle Baruwa to allow peace to reign, saying that, "our house is in order, and we don't need any caretaker committee. Alhaji Ariwo was our choice from day one and fortunately for him, he was also the winner of the mini election conducted in the presence of the representatives of the state government and stakeholders of the union when they were called for mediation. We want Alhaji Ariwo to resume in the interest of fairness and justice".

In his speech, the new state chairman, Alhaji Abdulrazaq Ariwo, appealed to the national chairman, Alhaji Baruwa to allow peace reign in the state by supporting the interest of the majority in the state, promising to carry every member along in his administration.

He appealed to the national leadership to listen to the voice of the people and akin to their choice, saying that Kwara state branch had not witnessed crisis and violence in the existence of the union.

"It should not start now. We won't want the closure of our union by the government in the state as it happened in some neighbouring states. We are one family in the state. We don't fight. So, we hereby call on aggrieved members to be sportsmanly. We don't want a caretaker committee. We have leadership already".
