“I had said on a programme on national TV that if the two major political parties produce northern candidates, it will be a declaration of war against southern Nigeria.
“We are in a situation where an administration has operated in a system as if others don’t exist.
“We are saying it’s unfair, not proper, and it’s on record. We are taking our campaigns to the South south, we have friends in the middle belt and in northern Nigeria, we are taking it to Nigerians of goodwill and clear conscience in northern Nigeria, so that they will know that we need to work together for this country to exist, prosper, and become greater than what we are.
“We will speak to all Nigerians why the next president should come from southern Nigeria; anything otherwise, we are not saying this as a threat, Nigeria will no longer be what it has been if 2023 goes north.
“Highlighting some ‘injustices,’ he said,
“There are 17 major paramilitary intelligence agencies in the country. At the last count 14 of them are headed by persons from certain part of the country, three from southern Nigeria.
“The NNPC Limited, as it is called, has 11 key management and board members, the South-South has no person, and 80 percent of our resources come from the region, the South East has two, the South West, one.
On the Muslim-Muslim ticket of APC, he said, “You can’t close the door against your own, PANDEF will engage all of them because we’re leaders and fathers.”
