ago, you were a deputy governor on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, why did you leave the party for APC?
My concept of party politics and democracy is lacking in the PDP. Politics is all about decision-making, conflict resolution and inclusive participation. When you are in politics, you are supposed to find a means of making the society better and create conducive environment under which people can thrive, express themselves, do their business and accomplish their aims, but when you are in a party where only one man’s view is heard, such is not good enough for the system. I left the PDP for APC because I discovered that PDP at that time was being run on a one-man basis and that did not give room for anybody who had ideas to be able to contribute. I cannot be in a place where I’m being shut out of the system and have to keep quiet without finding a means of expressing myself. So, I left the PDP in 2016 because I could not cope with its style.
