Stating that he doubts the north will willingly give power to other regions come 2023, he said:

“I honestly will say, almost all the things that were going for the north in the days of Ahmadu Bello are no longer there. The textile industries where they dominated are not there anymore. The groundnut pyramids, etc. And what they have is what they hold. They have power.

“Nigeria is structured in such a way that no section can win an election by itself. The southerner cannot win an election without reaching out to the north and the northerner cannot win the election without reaching out to the south.”

Going forward, Bakare suggested that for the status quo to change, the 1999 Nigerian constitution must be rejigged.
