He decided to pinch his tent with SDP to enable him run as the flag bearer of the party.

He also lamented that the APC and PDP destroyed Nigeria and asked the electorates to chase them out of government.

“APC and PDP are the two political parties that destroyed this country that is why we have issue of kidnapping, banditry, insurgency, unwarranted killings and a paralysed economy, which had instituted hunger and starvation in the country. 

“Why should we continue to allow them to continue their exploitations and destruction? I took the PDP eleven times to court to disagree with some action that was questionable, so l am never part of these destructions,” he said.
