According to Hon Aziegbemi, "There has to be an end to litigation "
 "It is unfortunate and regrettable that we had to resolve our disagreement by going to court and as far as the Supreme Court."

"Now that the Supreme Court has reached this decision, its time to sheath our swords. "

"As members of the same political party, it is now important that we unite and work towards achieving victory."

"I will immediately inaugurate a seven-man committee to help in the healing and integration process."

"The Leader of the Party and  Governor of the State, . Godwin Obaseki from the onset, pre-primaries and throughout the legal journey maintained and insisted that whoever emerges as PDP candidates were his candidates. "

"The Supreme Court judgement today has put to rest who the PDP candidates are.

 "The list uploaded by the NWC into the INEC server contains the authentic candidates of the PDP in the forthcoming General Elections. "

"Those that were not favoured by the court decision should be rest assured as Godwin Obaseki is ready to work with every one as one big PDP family."

"We should exhibit the attitude of no victor nor vanquished. "
