He disclosed this in Jos, while inaugurating his campaign team to run for governorship of the State.

He said, “It is God that gives leadership, its not gotten by force. If its not God’s will for me to become governor, I cannot force myself on the people.

“Some people say I’m not a member of PDP, but the truth is I’m a full member, some of us were rebelious because of the way party issues were handled then.

“PDP started from my house, its constitution was derived from that of SDP, its the party of the citizenry.

“PDP does not support imposition of candidates, so we will continue to fight such”
