People can\u2019t eat. People can\u2019t buy food. There\u2019s no money to buy food. Everything is gone. Inflation is at its peak.

What must happen here is that we must start not just a party, but a movement, it must be a movement that brings in Nigerians to, on their own take over government, not us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said he left the APC on Tuesday night but was surprised that the party did not expel him after warning them not to send invite him to meetings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI never attended one meeting. The last time they invited me, I warned them. I said, if you invite me to any meeting anymore\u2026 In fact, I was surprised that I wasn\u2019t even expelled because I warned them in writing; don\u2019t even invite me to any meeting.
