He notes that, “PDP, NNPP, APC we are all one family, and Nigeria is greater than all of us, Political Party affiliation should not be a yardstick to show disaffection and create means of destruction for the wellbeing of the people.
“I remember, many of those who are in NNPP are founding members of APC and so also PDP, this clearly tells you that we are one big family who only believes in one party or the other, so we must work together to make Nigeria great, and together we will make it”.
