I didn\u2019t know it was still important that just going to unwind was a problem to some people. Some people said they had moved on, they don\u2019t bother about G-5. Why do they bother about where we go to and where we didn\u2019t go?<\/p>\n
\u201cWe go to a club, you are worried. We go and swim you are worried. Yet you tell Nigerians you don\u2019t bother. They said I had a conversation with BBC. Where is the picture and where is the video?<\/p>\n
\u201cWe don\u2019t have journalists again, we have pressmen. You can see people not being able to dish out correct information. You see newspaper houses that are now running elections. You see TV houses now standing for election; Wike had interviews with BBC and say we have a deal with so,so candidate.Meanwhile, no video.<\/p>\n
\u201cSome of you waste your time to listen to such things. When I want to do something I will do it. Do you need to speculate? You don\u2019t need to. They say there is trouble but there is no trouble. What we have is introduction to trouble that will come.\u201d<\/p>\n
“They said we had meetings with a candidate. What is your problem assuming there was a meeting? Has Atiku not been holding meetings with governors of APC? Ask him. As he is in Dubai, don\u2019t we know what is going on?<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, why do you bother about us? The G5 you said you could win without us. Leave us alone. Focus on your problems. So, I want to tell you that whatever decision I will take, I will let you know and I can\u2019t take any decision without taking advice from you.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe know the parties some of these papers are supporting and their candidates. I am not the one that will go and see somebody and hide. Hide from who? Who is that person that will threaten me?You said you would sack me, go ahead.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am not worried. You that are sacking, you are worried, me that you are sacking is not worried. Try and see how you will survive it. I just went to enjoy myself and my family. If you check their Blood Pressure (BP) now it is very high. My BP is like that of a kid. They are killing themselves for nothing.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou, fulfill the one you said that if a presidential candidate comes from this zone, I will resign. Now that the presidential candidate has come you don\u2019t want to fulfill it and you want me stupidly to continue. Is that proper?<\/p>\n
\u201cThe presidential candidate told me in my house in Abuja when he came to see me, there was no way he would be presidential candidate and they would also produce the chairmanship of the party. Let him say he didn\u2019t tell me that. Fulfill the promise. Did I say I am not a party member? You that made a promise you don\u2019t want to be a party member?\u201d<\/p>\n
…\u201cIn 2003 when President Olusegun Obasanjo wanted to run for a second tenure\u2015a whole president wanted to run for a second tenure\u2015he knelt down before his vice and said, \u2018my vice, please, allow me to run.\u2019<\/p>\n
\u201cYou know one of the conditions he gave him? That Tony Anenih must be sacked as the Minister of Works and that Tony Anenih must not be in the presidential campaign council. Obasanjo obliged and sacked Tony Anenih as the Minister of Works and removed him from the presidential campaign council. This is a president, [and] his own vice giving him condition; a retired General knelt down and was given conditions.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are not even doing that; we are not saying sack this one; we are only saying that the constitution of our party must be respected based on what the national chairman said and based on what you told me in my house.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
