Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe representing Abia South has declared there is nothing called the North, noting that “if you go there, there are so many divisions going on.”

There is nothing called the North. This is part of the problems we have. We also have a general fear (of the so-called North). If you go there, there are so many divisions going on.

If you meet somebody else in Benue, he has a different idea. “If you meet somebody in Kwara, he has a different idea. If you meet somebody in Niger, he has a different idea. If you go to Kebbi, people have a different idea; they are just so different. “
The point really is that there are two classes of people: Those who are in power and those who are not. Those who are in power want to sustain the advantage they think they have.
