“We want a system that works. We want Nigeria to work from now henceforth. Bullion Van Politics, Enough is enough. We don’t want Bullion Van Politics, which enables politicians to buy votes and do what they like for the next four years.
“I’ve been saying that people should take money from politicians because it’s their money stolen from them. Bullion Van Politics being PDP and APC must come to end.
"Today, any northern politician who says he wants to be president doesn’t want Nigeria to survive."
South must be given an opportunity at the presidency
The Sun reports that while noting that the southern part of the country must be given an opportunity to take a seat at the presidency, Ezeife said Rabiu Kwankwaso of the NNPP and Atiku Abubakar of the PDP are from Northern Nigeria.
His word:
“The truth must be told. Only southern candidates are qualified by the decision of Nigerians to contest. We have Tinubu and Peter Obi. The choice is between Tinubu and Peter Obi.”
