He stated this while speaking on accepting destiny during a lesson session.

The former Central Bank governor said it is too late for the APC to accept defeat after attempting to seize power through a court process not knowing God was waiting.

“One laughable thing is that after some people were defeated in an election, they went to court to hijack power. At last in the court, they met Allah in wait. After stopping them from gaining power by force, now they said that they had accepted His decision.
“The best time to accept destiny is after the polls. You know people did not vote for you. You know you lost but made moves to hijack power. It’s too late.
