Describing his experience in the hands of the lawmaker as “his prize and sacrifice for leadership”, the statement further stated that, “It is a sacrifice I am prepared to accept. I was physically stopped at the gate and booked from accessing the National Assembly complex for about an hour . I was also tear-gassed at the lobby of the White House as I made my return from the Green Chamber. In all these, I bear no ill feeling . AbdulMalik (Cheche) is my colleague. I have forgiven him. I believe we can continue to work together in the interest of peace and sustenance of democracy.”
