@abba_kyaude
I am a committed member of the PDP, and I was disappointed to hear that news. The PDP is already a harmonious party, operating effectively even in the absence of the President. However, your involvement has the potential to undermine our policies, as it appears you are pursuing a vendetta stemming from a conflict you initiated.
@Mekazynnaemeka2
Nigeria is in critical condition. Any political affiliation to rescue the country with good intention would be a welcome idea. We need leaders who are very empathetic, compassionate, and willing to make sacrifices for good. The country is in withering abyss of desolation.
@mamatii001
I definitely know it is lie.
Our @elrufai will never return into that sinking both.
U see this APC, baba no dey go anywhere..
Allah bless you sir.
@ThinkWonderfuly
Please, do tell us more about these "patent lies" and how they're ruining your reputation. I'm sure it has nothing to do with your own actions or affiliations.😊
@Abdalla_Nangere
I know it. Though Mallam may defect before 2027, the timing now seems uncalculated.
@KafinHausaa
You will decamp or you won't.
This is the right time Sir
@Maga_Yila
We hope one day you will join us in Atiku Abubabar camp.
Best of luck sir.
