Baba, who addressed journalists after declaring for the APC, said he rejoined the party to contribute its quota to the party growth in the state and the country as a whole.

He said: “The main reason for my coming back into the APC is to partake in rectifying some of its identified anomalies while placing it on a sound footing ahead.

“This was the major reason some of us decided to stage a comeback into the APC in order to revive the party.”
