Sahara Reporters quoted him as saying:
“The north will not vote a "fake Muslim" in the name of a pretentious and mischievous Muslim/Muslim ticket. The scam is dead on arrival. The northeast will never vote for a number two position when they've been chasing the number one since 1966.
“The northwest will not abandon an Atiku for a Tinubu who's well known for his iron grip on Lagos state since 1999.
“The southwest itself knows it has the most controversial and palpably weakest candidate in this race this time and would humbly and readily accept its fate with equanimity.
“It will also dawn on the southeast that Obi's raving popularity alone cannot carry him across the winning line.”
