I reached out to his office to speak to him and he gave me his reasons why he\u2019s fighting.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just want to make one correction. Being a former presidential candidate does not make you the sole owner of a party. I was a presidential candidate in 2011 on the platform of the National Conscience Party, which was co-founded by great lawyer Gani Fawehinmi.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, who is one of the greatest politicians today, cannot claim ownership of the NNPP. Even Atiku Abubakar, who is probably the most experienced politician today, does not say he\u2019s the owner of any party.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know where this new sense of entitlement comes from, where Nigerian politicians would say they would agree, they are the founders of the party.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome people founded PDP but today they have lost control of the party. That\u2019s the truth.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo with all due respect to my brother Kachikwu, don\u2019t let anybody use your head to break coconut. It is not necessary. Don\u2019t kill this beautiful baby (ADC). It\u2019s a new baby. And you should be happy that some people are taking your party beyond where it was,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Nigeria<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
