“I was attacked after I made that tweet (about Atiku being my father), and I wondered why.”

When asked if he called Atiku his father because of pecuniary gains, he replied: “If I eventually go into politics, it will be for the benefit of my constituency. However, I don’t want to become a politician because I don’t want people to insult me. I cannot collect money from Atiku, and I have never collected money to campaign for any politician.”
