He stated that he is rather occupied with the success of Buhari’s administration, which should be the concern of every true APC member. Any plan to cause distrust and distraction in Buhari’s government certainly does not mean well for the APC administration and the nation at large.

“This is yet another plot of the enemies of our country and democracy to divide, divert attention and distract the APC in its avowed commitment to secure the country, provide jobs for the mass of unemployed youths, build needed critical infrastructure, enthrone a regime of probity and accountability and pull the country out of the economic woods it has been consigned to by locust years of mismanagement.”
