President of Nongov Community, Benjamin Iwan called on his people to embrace unity and political inclusiveness.
He cautioned against politics of conflict and division expressing belief that the candidature Dr Apera for House of Representatives is a bridge to bring Nongov people together for a common cause.
Speakers from the Nongov clans as well as some elders commended Apera for his decision to contest, a move they described as timely and needful.
