He outlined the problem of the PDP to the North-west zonal congress which he said was rigged against Rabiu Kwankwaso in favor of Aminu Tambuwal which led to the latter leaving the party.
He complimented Obi’s bravery for being able to win the likes of Tinubu in Lagos, describing him as “A phenomenon” and “the man of the moment”, stressing that Obi’s victory in Lagos has proved that things are no longer the same.
