“We are going to force them out of office by not paying subscriptions and we are going to mobilize all Jubilee MCAs to go and eject them from those offices so that they know Jubilee has its own owners.” The MCAs affirmed.
They further demanded that the ruling party should call for elections to kick out errant officials causing wrangles in the party and threatened to mobilize MCAs across the country to eject them from office.
