Independent Sakarya Deputy Umit Dikbayır, who is said to be switching to the AK Party, stated that he has patiently endured the lies and dirty information produced about him, adding that such attacks will continue in the dirty political arena, but he will continue to do what he believes is right and leaves the rest to God.
Expectations that Sakarya Deputy Ümit Dikbayır would join the AK Party were dashed at the last moment.
Independent Sakarya Deputy Ümit Dikbayır made the following statement on his social media account:
"Finally, today is August 14... I have patiently followed the lies and false news, comments, gossip, and shares produced about me based on dirty information. I know that these will continue to be done in this dirty political arena. However, there is also an important experience such processes add to a person: You see more clearly who is a friend and who is an enemy; who is sincere and who is hypocritical.
Everything that has happened adds another lesson to our life experience. As I have done until today, I will continue to do what I believe is right and say what I believe in from now on. I leave the rest to Allah..."
