“People have been telling us everywhere we go that PDP government is the best government the nation have ever had. Government is actually about security, development and provision of basic amenities,” he said.
Speaking at the inaugural meeting of the Servant Leadership Forum in Minna, Aliyu said his performance in office had made some chieftains in APC to lobby him to join the party.
The ex-governor declared that he is not nursing any plan to join the APC, adding that he is a die-hard PDP member who will remain in the party despite its challenges.
“It is something of a pride to hear the rumors they are carrying that I have joined APC. That means they are indirectly lobbying me to join APC. I had the chance and right to join the APC but I did not and I stand by my decision. I am not in APC and will not be in APC.
“I am not nursing an ambition to join APC. I am not decamping to APC. I am not a selfish politician. I remain a member of PDP no matter how difficult or hard it may be for the party,” he added.
