He said there is no strong alternative yet to the current administration which was a worry to most Nigerians.
He said: “Both political parties are two sides of a coin. Both are irresponsible. Both have top members who are very corrupt. As much as Nigerians are disgusted with the performance or non-performance of President Buhari, I don’t think they see an alternative in the PDP or most people who are now making noise about wanting to get Buhari out of power. This is a very unfortunate situation.
“What the PDP is offering to us presently is nothing. What anyone, who is currently dissatisfied may want to do, is to form a new political party. But in Nigeria, everyone is an opportunist; they want to defect to a political party, make money and grab positions.
“Unfortunately, the party system in Nigeria is still evolving. This is my concern. We do not have strong alternatives yet to the present administration.”
Meanwhile, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, the former vice president, emerged with a long face, after paying a visit to former head of state, Ibrahim Babangida, in Minna, Niger state, on Thursday, December 7, Daily Trust reports.
