He said the resignation was not unconnected with the political mood of
the nation, saying everybody is free to join any political party or parties of their choice.
He said, “It must, however, be noted that the resignation and defection of the two former aides would not affect the chances of President Muhammad Buhari and the All Progressives Congress (APC).”
The governor who spoke through his Chief Press Secretary, Segun Ajiboye, said the defection of his aides would, in no way, affect his administration.
He urged the APC members in the state not to be worried by the development, but continue to work for the progress of the party.
