A former Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirika, has said he doesn’t plan to defect from the All Progressives Congress to any political party.
He said he was not among those who formed the coalition that joined the African Democratic Congress.
He said it was wrong for the Presidential spokesman, Bayo Onanuga, to have listed him among the APC chieftains who dumped the party for the ADC.
The former minister, who served under the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari, said he remains committed to his principal and the APC.
Sirika said, “I watched Nyesom Wike today (Thursday) on Arise claiming that I have joined the so-called coalition. Whilst still in shock, I read on Premium Times this evening, a report credited to Chief Bayo Onanuga, making the same claim.
“I am a founding member of the APC. I gave it its name. I have no plans to leave it. I will always be where President Buhari is. If you must hate him, hate me too. I have no apology.
“At their levels, they ought to fact-check. I call upon our loyal members to ignore both statements and consider them pedestrian.”
