A former Special Adviser on Inter-Parliamentary Affairs, Protocol and Special Duties to the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, Moshood Mustapha, on Wednesday disclosed that his decision to stay in the All Progressives Congress, APC, was informed by his belief in the ability of President Muhammadu Buhari.
He made the remark while speaking with the News Agency of Nigeria, NAN.
Mustapha explained that as the coordinator for Buhari/Osinbajo Campaign Organisation in Kwara in 2015, he was not ready to “dump the ship in the middle of the sea and look for a way to sail out”.
He said, “There are ways we can manage our mistakes. It is not about abandoning.
“If you say that your wife offends you, she will always offend you and you will also offend her. But you have to manage your mistakes, otherwise, you will keep marrying every day.
“A lot of things come around, that is why you should always embrace perseverance. That is what politics should be all about.
“I must feel comfortable and I must be able to take decisions on my own.
“So either any leader or no leader, I choose to work with him when I was with him. I was not coerced to work with him when I was with him.
“It was based on my own personal conviction, it was about my personal feeling and when I feel otherwise, I decided to take the next step.
“I am on my own. I take decision and I face the consequences of my actions. It is based on my personal volition that I decided to venture into politics in the first instance.
“And I decided on my own that aside this Buhari, I have not seen any other candidates like him.
“If anybody wants to come out, let me see what he has for the goodness of our people”.
