I’ve made it part of my principles that I should never have an enemy no matter what. In fact, it has been there before politics.I think it is only a stupid politician that will predict what will happen in 2023 especially because of issues relating to security, economy, and hunger in the country and so on and so forth. And it has been happening, and I hope that whoever the parties eventually choose to be their flag bearers, whether it’s from the North or from the South, I think the yardstick should be his competence, his capability and then also, his credibility. An experienced politician, Shagari also served seven times in a federal ministerial or cabinet post between 1958 and 1975.
I feel that Nigerians from each side of the nation do have the right to contest; political parties also should look at this issue very critically and do what is right so that everybody will have a sense of belonging. He’s a very good friend of mine. I have tried my best to be the governor of Sokoto State in 2007.
The relationship between Wamakko and myself is a very cordial one.
Our relationship is really wonderful.

The security situation in the country, everybody will tell you that it’s not the sort of thing we want to find ourselves in. I remember when we were doing our campaigns for the 2019 election; I had to accompany the governor of the state to a funeral of about 31 people in Rabah local government. Zoning in the first place is not a concessional matter; it is an arrangement and understanding by people to give opportunity to each side of the country; the South and the North. If the party feels that I’m the best candidate, the most credible candidate and they give me a ticket, then I’d run.
I actually want the security agencies, this time around in Edo to show Nigerians that they’re not for APC or PDP but rather for peace and for the people.First and foremost, let us try to understand why our leaders came out with this issue of zoning. They should always look for people who are competent, people who have the capability, credible, people who really love the country. I don’t know whether he knows the truth or not because he has his own people who work for him but one thing I think the president should really do, as Nigerians are clamouring, despite the fact that the service chiefs in this country, military, the air force, the police, DSS and so on, they are all trying to do the best they can to bring security to our country, I think so far the Nigerian people are not really happy. One of the issues that the PDP has to settle is that they must be able to protect and ready to ensure that there’s internal democracy within the party.
