He claims to have a cordial relationship with the former Vice President, stating that despite his own political ambitions, he will continue to attend Atiku’s events if invited.
He said, “The reason why I am here is that this is new politics. As you know, I play politics differently, as for me, politics is not a war.
“Atiku is my boss, my leader and an elder brother. If he invites me for anything, I will attend. Aspiring does not mean I should not keep my relationship that is cordial.
“Atiku is a unifier and anytime he invites me for anything, I will be there”.
