Amid the crisis of confidence within the governing All Progressives Congress (APC), a former Deputy National Vice Chairman (South/South)

of the party, Chief Hillard Ntufam Etta, tells LEO SOBECHI, in this interview why the confusion persists and why he would not withdraw his case against the party from the court.

What happened in Lagos State, whereas many as three rival factions emerged, made some people conclude that the sweeping away of the NWC was actually targeted at excluding a certain calibre of leadersOf course, that is the truth. The sweeping away of the NWC was targeted at Asiwaju Bola Tinubu. It is not a hidden fact.

Good for Nigeria that there is no part where we cannot have competent hands. So, for me, it is a consideration in nation-building that this ticket should go to the South. Like I said earlier on, it will be a monumental mistake if we are to do otherwise. It is heart-rending. A lot of people made a lot of sacrifices in 2013 and 2014. Those sacrifices have not been recognised and compensated for. I think that sometimes you need to make those sacrifices for nation-building, it was indeed a good thing for us to have come together to take the PDP out of government in 2015.

My plea to leaders of the party is to be careful about the way they treat Nigerians, because you may never be able to decide where Nigerians will go in 2023. We need to be careful. The question of South-south, South-west, politics is a game of interest and the Southeast, Southwest and South/South are all part of the country.
