Africa Press-Nigeria:<\/p>\n
The Arewa Youths Consultative Forum, AYCF, on Saturday accused Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, of inciting crisis between the North and Southwest.<\/p>\n
Recall that Kanu had alleged that the North would frustrate the Southwest presidential ambition.<\/p>\n
In a broadcast on Radio Biafra, the IPOB leader had claimed that the North would mess up the presidential ambition of Bola Tinubu, National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC.<\/p>\n
Kanu said North will \u201cmess up\u201d Tinubu\u2019s presidential ambition like they did to former presidential candidate, MKO Abiola.<\/p>\n
However, Shettima in a chat with DAILY POST dismissed such claims.<\/p>\n
Shettima stressed that North would lobby both the Southwest and Nigerians in general to retain the presidency in 2023.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cI\u2019m not aware there is any arrangement between the North and the Southwest and if there is, it\u2019s not constitutional.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have said this long before now that we will canvass and lobby to ensure that we seek the understanding of Nigerians in retaining power in 2023.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo if there is any arrangement between Southwest and the North, I\u2019m not aware of that, and as long as it\u2019s not constitutional, it\u2019s not binding on us.<\/p>\n
So what Nnamdi Kanu is saying is not different from already canvassed positions.<\/p>\n
\u201cKanu is only saying this to incite crisis among the people but nothing will happen by God\u2019s grace.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
