Pointing out that he reason given for his defection is laughable to say the least and also exposed his insincerity as there are no reported rift within the PDP folds in Kebbi State.
He said the party’s State chapter viewed his action as irresponsible and selfish, demonstrating a clear disregards for the welfare of his Constituency, therefore, members, supporters and symphatizers of the party are to remain calm and be committed to the party ideal as we shall seek legal redress to restore our mandate.

“We, therefore, appeal to all our members, particularly the good people of Koko-Besse and Maiyama Federal Constituency to remain steadfast in demanding pure democratic solution to Nation’s problems which have been exacerbated by the APC led government’s poor polices and performance.” The statement read.
