“Last December 31, I had a similar call from my brothers in APC stock and some others who are not even in politics. They came and ambushed me and said I must speak about the presidency.
“Make no mistake about it. It is the southern part of the country that the President is coming from. It is also true that out of the zones in southern Nigeria, it is only the South East that has not tasted the presidency.
“That gives much weight to the demand you are making now. The PDP is playing games about whether it should be north or south. In our party as gentlemen, we have already agreed that it will be the south.
“I told them on 31st December 2021 when they came, that after the spiritual season of lent, I will talk. That was to enable me consult with God.
“Easter is tomorrow (Sunday) and it is resurrection day. We shall rise in resurrection. The day after the Easter, I will give a pronouncement of my journey to the [residency.
“We have done all the consultation with mortals and immortal people and we are going to speak. But make no mistake about it”.
