According to Eseme, a political party is only a vehicle. He said the content in the vehicle is what actually makes sense and not the car.

He said:

“The party is just a vehicle. There is a vehicle and there is its content. All political parties; Labour Party (LP), APC, and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) are all vehicles.

"It’s the content that matters. If you go to a shop to buy a capsule, it is not the beauty of the container that matters, but the granules inside that make a capsule. So it’s the same thing with the political parties.

"So who makes up these political parties? So people will be voting for individuals and not political parties.
