He said:
“I am not a member of APC and I will not be. But they have made me recognise that they are the heroes of this country.
“The (APC) governors came out to say ‘look, for the unity of this country, the presidency should go to the south’. The governors of APC said the way the country is, they want the unity of this country and, therefore, the presidency should go to the south.
“They could have as well said ‘no, it doesn’t matter; as governors, we have the number. We can still say it should remain where it should remain.’
“But they didn’t do that. They said the way we are seeing this country we want everybody to be together. Let no one say because I have the population, therefore, you will continue to dominate. In dominating, you need peace. Without peace, you cannot govern.”
