He seeks the forgiveness of the masses as what he had promised them from the APC-led government had not been delivered to them.

“It pains me, but it is the truth and let the truth be told. I am an active member of APC, but I must admit that Nigeria’s administration under APC has failed Nigerians and as an individual who had dedicated his time and resources to convincing people to vote for the party, I want to state here that I am regretting my action,”
