“Many Nigerians have been confronted with what they have said at various times, and they either recant or say something new. I’m standing here to tell you that I will never join the APC. I’m no longer interested in politics for what it is. I have received
a fair chance to lead Ekiti twice and defeated two incumbents.”
‘I make no apologies for my actions.’
