President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday said he didn't join the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP when he first ventured into partisan politics because he had no interest in political position.
THE SUN reports that President Buhari made the disclosure while speaking to reporters in South Africa. The President said, ''After being in the military for 25 years, and getting to the highest rank and becoming Head of State and under unusual circumstances, as Head of State, I went straight to detention for three-and-a-half years. So, those who accused me of locking them up, I, too, have been locked up, so what?''.
''Why did I join partisan politics in spite of that? When I went home people, knew that I have no money and I thought they will leave me alone, but they didn’t. They were coming to keep asking me to do this and do that. And I found out that the only way I could do it is by joining partisan politics.
''And maybe if I speak even if I’m not a member at any level, people will listen to me. But then I joined the opposition, I joined APP (All Peoples Party). I didn’t want any political office at first, if I wanted I would have joined PDP then and maybe I would have gotten to where I am much earlier. But then I wanted to go with the opposition.
