Sir, as a sitting Senator of the Federal Republic Of Nigeria representing Lagos West Senatorial District would you not mind being offered a return to the Senate as likely Senate President rather than running for the governorship?
Senate President, no, I don’t want. My aspiration is to become the Governor. You have a passion, you have what you want to do. It is not about what someone wants you to do; don’t give me what I don’t want.
How do you intend to wave the pacifying gimmicks of your party? That is what you are going to do, if the party leadership says you should step down for another aspirant?
It is not possible because I know how we got to where we are. If in 2007, you said “you can’t go now; let’s allow this person – you will have the opportunity next time”. You want to call me now – so what are you going to tell me? That I have to wait again! You put my life on hold? You cannot.
