You could recall the governor caused a stir when he defected to the APC. According to him, he moved to APC to make sure that the state gets so many things from the government of President Buhari.
Speaking on his defection he said: “Having seen and known the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and his commitment to this country, his nationalistic disposition and all the efforts he has made to bring Nigeria to where we are today, it is obvious that at this point, we needed to join hands with him to build a Nigeria that we can be proud of.
“We need all governors to recognize that it is not the party that matters. It is the character, it is an honor, it is the commitment to the vision of this great nation. We all need to know as teamwork ahead of the president by working towards building a prosperous country that the succession worries of 2023 will come without the fears and the worries the international community has for us.
