Bakare listed those putting pressure on him to former governor and minister from the South-West and a few associates.

Bakare, who disclosed this on Saturday at the first edition of the Citadel School of Governance Dialogue Series tagged ‘Nigeria at 65: Historical Reflections, Futuristic Projection’ in Oregun, Lagos, however out the possibility of joining the party.

“There has been a lot of pressure on me from who is who to join ADC. They come to my home. Even while I was abroad, the hierarchy of that party kept calling, saying they needed my voice,” Bakare said.

According to him, one of his younger political associates, who benefited from holding key offices in the All Progressives Congress, urged him to lend his influence to the ADC.

“I am not going to take part in ADC. The last time I knew about ADC was about a plane that crashed. I wish them well, because we need a robust opposition.

“But you don’t birth a child called APC and then try to kill it yourself. We are not going to have another Awolowo–Akintola crisis in the South-West,” he added.
