He further explained the approach of his party, the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, regarding the upcoming election.


“We are not going to field a candidate in our party. Well, we have announced it. In 2011, APGA did not field a presidential candidate. APGA adopted then-President Jonathan as its candidate.


“In Tinubu’s case, how do you communicate that to the South-East? Our people are smart. Once they understand that it is in their own enlightened self-interest, they will see the reasoning,” he said
