He spoke on Sunday while featuring on a television programme.
“The party cannot but take a look at what happened, who created it, who did what to avoid recurrence in the future,” he said.
While blaming Atiku Abubakar, Presidential Candidate of the party in the last election, and Iyorchia Ayu, suspended National Chairman, he said: “There’s no chance in the world that the chairman of the party will come from the same zone as the the presidential candidate of the party.
“That was where the disagreement started, and they didn’t handle it well. That was why we went to war, divided.
“So if you are setting up a reconciliation committee and a disciplinary committee, let us do a post-mortem analysis that led us to this division during the election. The pre-election, the proper election and post-election matters, should be discussed. After that, we will now be able to set up a committee to reconcile people.
“People are just arguing in their various slots, insulting people and I said, let us look at all the sides. There are three major sides now. We can’t go to war, divided. We cannot. We cannot but take a looking at what happened, who created this? Who did that to avoid the recurrence in the future.”
