“The best way our nation is constituted proper now, irrespective of who desires to guide this nation. Anybody that wishes to guide this nation proper now must negotiate with the north and the north has a method of supplying you with the crown and holding the sceptre and if that’s going to alter, our glorified loss of life certificates referred to as the Nigerian structure will need to have to undergo a rejig.

“I actually will say, nearly all of the issues that have been going for the north within the days of Ahmadu Bello are now not there. The textile industries the place they dominated aren’t there anymore. The groundnut pyramids, and so on. And what they’ve is what they maintain. They’ve energy.

“Nigeria is structured in such a method that no part can win an election by itself. The southerner can’t win an election with out reaching out to the north and the northerner can’t win the election with out reaching out to the south.”

That he’s nonetheless alive as we speak is a miracle. When you put all of the six years he has spent, aside from infrastructure growth, the promise he made to the general public regarding Boko Haram or safety, we all know it has gone worse, so far as I’m involved.

“They are saying it’s not as dangerous as we predict. However I should be satisfied. The rail monitor, a couple of days in the past to Kaduna, they bombed it. When my brother, Nasir el-Rufai stated I ought to take the prepare to Kaduna, I stated I’ll wait. They’re attempting their hardest, however irrespective of from which angle you’re it, whether or not it’s financial, whether or not it’s politics, whether or not it’s safety, you should have one thing damaging to say. However it’s simpler to be important than appropriate. I can’t beat my chest till I sit on that seat and do higher.”
