The cleric insisted that Nigeria was better as one, saying he would never support the breakup of the country.
Speaking on political parties, the cleric expressed that there are only two major political parties in the country – the All Progressives Congress and the Peoples Democratic Party.
He said, “As presently constituted, there’s no room for independent candidacy in Nigeria. You have to be part of any of the registered parties and some of the registered parties are shelf parties that they just put on the shelf when they miss opportunities here and they cross there.
“As far as I am concerned, there are only two major parties today: PDP and APC. It was my privilege to move the motion in March 2012 at the Eagles Square, the motion that brought ACN, CPC, ANPP, and all of them together.”
