Aremu also urged Nigerians not to join those promoting regional politics, stressing: “Today, we have 19 states that make up the old northern region. Each one of the states, even in terms of parties, they are not in the same party. Both the Peoples Democratic Party and All Progressives Congress , they run most of the states and in each state they have their commitments.
