He added that because of threat he has chooses to run out of the state and take refuge at the neighboring state.

“They are threatening to arrest me because I have decided not to support the impeachment plan of the state Deputy Governor. My decision is not in conformity with the state government interest who saw me as a threat to the move”.

He said this development influenced his ordeal since government believed without arresting him the mission of the state may not be fulfilled.

“Though I have not been arrested, I am of strong conviction that the state government is behind my ordeal of planned arrest”.

“Because of my love for the party, I had started reaching out to my colleagues not be allowed to be used for an illegal mission. Because the government has been briefed of my consultation with the members, it insisted that, it must know what I am trying to influence among the members”.
