Jalo made the comment on Monday, April 18, 2016, during a telephone interview with Daily Trust.

“The interest of Ali Modu Sheriff will not supersede the interest of the North. The North is interested in the presidency,” he said.

“The South-west should produce the national chairman and the North should produce the presidential candidate as earlier approved by NEC.  I can assure you the party will break up if something else happens. Quote me,” he added.
