His argument:
“The APC and the PDP have [ruled] all we have seen, they do not mean reform.
"If you look at the fight against corruption, all the people who are said to be thieves will be punished because they stole under the PDP, now they have defected to the APC, and you are silent.
"That is why we think it is time to create a platform for all good people to return to, to contribute to the cause of change in Nigeria. That is why I have already registered with the PRP as a party member to see how I can help Nigeria."
