“I feel that I should resign if my relationship with some group of persons is not cordial because I rather take the part of honour than a situation where people want to compel me to serve their individual interest,” Ninga added.
He explained that he has not yet decided on the political party to join but promised to make it public once a decision is reached.
“You know I’m a politician; I don’t have any other job to do other than politics. So, I will let you know when I decide on the next line of action,” he said.
