“It is purely a private visit to the vice president; there is nothing unusual about our coming to confer with our leader; just a private visit and we are done.
“The southeast is already APC. If you come to the southeast, you will know that we don’t need any effort to deliver the southeast, the southeast is already delivered,” he said.
