While explaining why he left the PDP for the NNPP, the former Governor stated that he departed due to a party problem.
He said, “We had a situation in April last year where zonal positions were being shared among the States and all leaders in the six other states were allowed but in Kano, some people felt I wasn’t that important, so they had to do what they did.
“That is what triggered the issue (defection) and I spent almost a year now waiting for the PDP to talk to me, even the new leadership, to come and talk to me; they didn’t want to talk to me.
“For that reason, I felt there are irreconcilable differences between my humble self and many other leaders and they are mainly based on ideology.
