He stated so himself in this statement today obtained by CKN nigeria..
“It has been pointed out to me that many Nigerians who have supported
the work I have done in politics and community service are unaware of the fact
that I’m now a member of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN). I have been a
member for more than a year. The reason I took this course of action is because
the progressive opposition in Nigeria has been unable to bring itself under one
umbrella though many, myself included, have tried to bring this about by
encouraging the subsuming of ego for the common progressive good. This has proven
very difficult and progressives cannot afford to dissipate their energies in
various small armies while the enemies of the progressive struggle are
disciplined enough to coalesce under the conservative/retrogressive Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP). I would therefore encourage all opposition parties to
join the ACN. As far as I’m concerned, Nigeria should run a PDP-ACN political
party structure. PU”
