Quotation: Les révisionnistes auront ensuite à cœur d’adopter très rapidement la nouvelle division du pays que viennent de concocter sept sages pour qu’on en finisse avec les promiscuités indignes, honteuses et dangereuses: Madibaland, plus réduit, ira des Collines à l’océan Atlantique. La Sonacop, la Sonapra et les parcs de transit iront entièrement au Juppeland, le Madibaland ne conservera que le Pac et la Sogéma, pour la simple raison qu’on ne peut pas les déplacer.
