“In view of this, I and my people have decided to cease our memberships henceforth with immediate effect.
“After a wide rage of consultation with my friends, political peers, associates, leaders I officially declare our intention to join the People’s Democratic Party, and also embrace the candidacy of Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, the unifier, in the much anticipated 2023 general elections.
“As a detribalised Nigerian, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, if elected president of Nigeria come 2023 will undoubtedly unify Nigeria along religion and ethnic tracks and give facelift to our economy that’s currently in a precarious condition.
“We strongly believe that the security of lives and properties of all Nigerians will be better guaranteed under his leadership and Government.

“Undoubtedly, our withdrawal from Labour Party is the resultant effect of protracted internal feud among the leadership of the party in Oyo State.
“As an advocate of peace, whose life is driven by unity of purpose, I have done all my best as the Deputy Chairperson of Labour Party in Oyo State even in the face of sheer persecution.
“All I did went down the drain as some people in the party believed they’re powerful than the political institution with their quisling mentality.
