Northwest and it was under the APC
Ibrahim said: “In fact, the politics of the Northeast has always been different from the politics of the Northwest and it was under the APC that we all united for the first time.
“As we move towards the elections, I have to give a dire warning to the APC that things are no longer the way they were in 2015 when we rode to power on a cloud of euphoria believing that things would change for the better.
“Simply put, things have not changed and many things are getting worse and the people are bitter. We should not assume that we can win even with massive rigging.
“The economy has gone down because of our actions and inactions and we are blaming the past too much rather than solving the present problems .
“I am going to give a dire warning; let the Northeast not be taken for granted that we must support APC.
“Our interest in the Northeast has always been progressive and I will personally be watching for required improvements in the APC before the elections.
“Improvements that can guarantee victory, such as respecting the rule of law and releasing political prisoners as well as unselective war against corruption as against one sided witch hunt”.
He described the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2019 election, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, who hails from Adamawa State in the Northeast zone, as a possible option.
Continuing, the senator said: “I shall sit back and continue encouraging my party do the right thing. But if we don’t, I still reserve the capacity to ask my people to go our separate ways and do what must be done for good governance to reign in Nigeria”.
“At my age, I have no reason to lie about being a socialist progressive over the years as against capitalist conservatives that dominate the other zones.”
