The Former Speaker of the House of Representative, Dimeji Bankole, has explained his reason for cross carpeting from the African Democratic Party (ADP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The former lawmaker disclosed his reason in an interview on Monday with the press after meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari at the State House in Abuja,
Bankole said he joined the APC to rebuild the country, noting that Nigeria was currently going through trying times, and would require the efforts of everyone to pull the country back on track.
He said: “There are issues we need to solve, and any reasonable human beings should support this moment. From Borno State to Lagos State, and from Bayelsa State to Sokoto State, Nigerians are experiencing critical times, and we shouldn’t be found wanting.
“This is the time to step up and show support so that these decisions can be taken, executed and owned by us as a country. Because 10 years or 20 years from now, the people would ask who stood up when these things were happening. It’s every citizen’s right, and all we’ve done today is to exercise it, actions will speak for us.”
