He also confirmed that some of his supporters have demanded that he dumps the ruling party after treatment meted to him by some leaders of the APC.

The governor said the struggle to build the party has just started following the outcome of the court's ruling on teh elections in the state.

Yari said: “Former Governors of Lagos, Babatunde Fashola; Osun, Rauf Aregbesola; the Governor of Imo, Rochas Okorocha; the current Governor of Ekiti State, Kayode Fayemi, and I toiled hard to build this party."

"Therefore, I will not abandon the house I helped to build. The struggle has just started,” Yari added.

He said what happened is the will of Allah and urged all members of the party as well as other citizens of the state to remain calm, peaceful and law abiding.
