His words:
"For us ordinarily, Imo is a PDP State, but we have been blown by a wave, that's why we have to work harder.
"It doesn't come easy, the southeast has invested tremendously in National development, we're very industrious, and we have done so much to advance the country's technology but what we're getting is not commensurate to it.
"That's why there is fatigue, and anger in the land, APC administration has been a curse to the nation, but the dark days must soon be over, we must not work in anger, our faculty must be intact,it's important we come out of the misery but we're going to be very careful."
Also speaking, the deputy director of youth mobilisation for Atiku's Presidential Campaign, Chinonso Obasi, emphasised that it is only Atiku that will implement all the recommendations beneficiary to the southeast as proposed by the Confab.
Obasi, a former member of the 2014 National Confab said:
"The recommendations of the Confab if implemented would have benefitted the Igbo, it proposed extra States, it is only here we have five States others have 6 and seven, but Atiku has promised to implement it for us if he becomes president.
"The Confab also recommended that the southeast as a result of the civil war would be reconstructed, and rebuilt, but that has not happened, he would implement it for us, again for Nigeria Students, they will have access to loans as recommended in the Confab, he has set aside $10 billion for youth employment, all these the youth will benefit by voting for him on Saturday."
