Without grating messages, the faction founder, Princess Scholastica Ezuma stated that as a woman leader who has been involved with politics for over 35 years, she is always pressured by the sobs of her people to offer solutions to their difficulties. According to Princess Ezuma, election day will present itself like an exam fever for only those who are not certain about their candidate of choice, putting in that for her group, it's APC from top to bottom. Explaining further, she said, "When I contested some years ago, it was an indigene of Ikorodu that sponsored me, and now it's time for me to give my entire base behind capable candidates in Ikorodu, and the All Progressive Congress (APC) party is my choice".

"So, be ready to exercise your civic duty for APC on election day and vote with your conscience". He further advised that a lot of other party candidates will be listed on the ballot papers, and voters are to check precisely for their chosen APC candidate on the sheet before voting. "If we have decided to support all flag-bearing candidates of the All Progressive Congress (APC) as declared by Princess Ezuma, then members should not be afraid or intimidated based on our recommendation" He concluded.
