He said that he left the PDP in order to fight equity ,justice and fair play for all adding ,”I don’t see PDP concede the slot of the Presidency for Ndigbo and I didn’t see the reason why they should not do so considering what the people have done for the party over the years”.
He stated further that though he didn’t quit the PDP because of Igbo Presidency but need to ensure justice,equity and fair play.

“I believe the hope of the people of the South east is that they should be given a chance to rule Nigeria”
