The former lawmaker stated that their move to the PDP is not an attempt to find an alternative to the APC but rather a move to a party with structure and organized leadership.
While reiterating that the APC lacks leadership, he stated that he thought he could stay in the party to right the wrongs but was not successful.
He recalled how, in 2014, they campaigned against the PDP but were perplexed by the fact that Nigeria has seen more hell under the ruling APC.
