“You’re no more from Kogi.
“But each time I had such challenges, I had to brace myself.
“So I was ready for it.
“And I would tell every woman who wants to venture into it that it could be tough, but you have the strength in you.
“I was in APC briefly.
“At the start of everything, but now, no.
“Why should I join APC?
“I don’t have to follow the bandwagon.
“I don’t have to succumb to any threats or fall for any cajolement.
“Let me be honest about it.
“I’ve been approached by people from the Presidency, from even my colleagues, even as recently as yesterday.
“I love my space.
“I love my peace here.
“I’m okay with my party now.
“So I don’t think I have to join the APC.”
