“After this NEC meeting, anybody that doesn’t show commitment to the convention, don’t come back after the event and say you are fully back. I will not accept that,” he said.
He emphasised the need for unity and urged the leadership of the party to intensify reconciliation efforts while maintaining sincerity among members.
The minister cautioned party members against engaging in unnecessary political battles, stressing that politics requires strategy and must not be treated as a business venture.

He said: “A fight you can’t fight, don’t start it.
“Politics is not contract work; they are two different things. I didn’t go into politics to be a contractor. I went into politics to have power.
“You wanted money; I wanted power. Stay where you are as a contractor.”
