Magoro said the council had impressive interactive sessions with state governors across the zone.
He said the best way for party stakeholders to face the election was to reach out to all those that mattered, to ensure victory toward the electoral success of the party.
Magoro said the council also paid similar visits to important party members who felt aggrieved, to broker peace and achieve reconciliation.
According to him, politics is a game of number, adding that the party needs more supporters to come on board.
