In his critique, Adebanjo also claimed that the North, led by President Muhammadu Buhari, was deliberately causing confusion among southern party chieftains.

“We all know the truth, they don’t want the South-East,” he said. It’s not that they don’t know what’s right.

“All I want to do is point out that they are simply deceiving you.” All you’re hearing is that they (the North) are supporting the South-West in order to deprive you of your ability to rule. They dislike everyone.

“Because the North does not want to relinquish power, they put their candidate up while the South is slugging it out.” We can still be together if we have a government that allows regions to have autonomy.”

“It will not cost money or anything else to improve Nigeria.” All that is required is that we show mutual respect, love, and understanding to one another. Let us do what is right; let us be accommodating and fair to one another.
