The governor noted that Senate President Bukola Saraki and other political leaders in Kwara have no intention or reason to return to the PDP or join any other political party unless they are asked to do so by supporters.
Governor Ahmed also stated that the insinuations, which arose from his recent interview with a newspaper, did not suggest that he was planning to decamp from APC. Instead, he said he was stating the conditions under which he left the PDP.
He emphasized that he, Saraki and other governors left the PDP due to impunity, disregard for the rule of law and lack of inclusiveness in the party at the time following extensive consultations with stakeholders and supporters.
The governor also urged those commenting on the matter to read the said interview properly, rather than relying on social media headlines and insinuations to draw uninformed conclusions.
Governor Ahmed also advised his detractors within APC that are urging him and Senator Bukola Saraki to hasten their exit from the party to educate themselves with that interview and be appropriately informed instead of making misguided comments on issues they know nothing about.
