He made his resignation public today. His words;
“I have served the APC honestly and to the best of my ability and when I stood for and won my election at the last convention, it was a keen desire to continue to do so.
However, in a situation whereby my loyalty is constantly brought into question; my subordinates deployed to subvert my office; and my views constantly second-guessed on the basis of my political affiliation, it has become imperative for me to review my position.”
He is a loyalist of Senate president Bukola Saraki, hence many at the APC national headquarters in Abuja couldn’t trust him to remain loyal to the party.
