"In my opinion, the platform of political parties is not the real problem, it is Alhaji Atiku Abubakar under PDP or President Buhari under APC this time.

"I dare to state unequivocally that I am with Atiku under the PDP this time."

"Mr. Abubakar chose an incredible VP. In fact, even though I have never met Peter Obi or spoken with him, it is thanks to him that I am today the founder and national president of a political party organized by young people and directed numerically. His exemplary leadership as Governor of Anambra State has brought me, along with several members of my team, to politics. "
