He was quoted as having dumped the People’s Democratic Party, PDP for the
ruling APC.
“I never said that I was joining APC. I said
that at my age I should be an elderly statesman and will no longer play
partisan politics. At 89 why should I be playing partisan politics?
What is most important to me is
the interest of Nigeria. I’m ready to go to prison for the interest of Nigeria.
I should be able to advise the younger ones on the interest of Nigeria.”
In the interview he described President Muhammadu
Buhari’s first batch of ministerial nominees as the beginning of failure of Federal Government’s much touted “change” initiative. He explains that
after four months in office, the President ought to have come up with a list of
what he describes as young and more credible Nigerian professionals to serve in
his cabinet.
