“As far as today, I am not aware of his resignation from the membership of the party.
“I would assume it is safe to say that he is a member of the party. If events follow thereafter, we can speak to that.
“Membership of the party is personal. Membership of the party is at the ward level.

2023 presidency: Jonathan reportedly makes U-turn on APC ticket, gives positive consideration
Meanwhile, a late-night meeting between Jonathan and leaders of the Fulani community in Abuja who procured the N100 million presidential nomination forms for him ended in the conclusion that he would consider running on the ticket of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
During a meeting with the pro-Jonathan stakeholders on Tuesday, May 10, he expressed his displeasure over the purchase of the nomination form without his consent, a fault they were said to have admitted and apologised for.
The apology was made by Dr. Ibrahim Abdullahi, the leader of the Fulani community.
On their part, the pastoralists were said to have explained that they made the move in appreciation of their gratitude to him for the N60 billion investments he made for the Almajiris during his tenure in the form of schools and investment opportunities.
