According to Ibegbu: “They are not threats but distractions and arbiters of injustice. They are clearly insensitive to the mood of the nation.

“Their ambition runs contrary to the mood of the nation for political justice and equity. Why must Atiku or Tinubu be overly ambitious to rule Nigeria in the past? What record did they keep in the past?

“Nigerians will decide if the nation will be the world capital of injustice and poverty as well.”
