lobatan! Signed an agreement or not. If Jonathan was smart enough i believed he should have a counter agreement to outsmart the God forsaken 'born to rule' northern leaders. But i doubt Jonathan having it. Trust OBJ, that is why it is good to be cunny at times. Little wonder he had to refute and dissociated himself from the Jan 1st poster of his 2015 presidential campaign. 1 Like |

A.S Slimm: Well, one can always renege on agreements,or better still restructure it to fit his whims and caprices. The north taught us that. It's high time they are fed from their pot. GEJ can always claim that he was out witted by a cunning north in signing the agreement,and that he wasn't aware of the full implications of the silly agreement. He can go on an give the north most of their demands but he must hold on to the main one,which is the presidency. If the north complains of being shortchanged,he can always get the media to write ill of them,telling nigerians how greedy they are,and how they came to negotiation table wanting to make no sacrifices for the peace of the country. If they try rubbish,they would be showed the military might of nigeria,and they will know why ihejirika was made the COAS. Now,this is the standard procedure,that works in one nigeria. 17 Likes |

lol. agreement indeed... by principle it should be honoured, but in Nigeria politics, it doesn't always need be if it doesn't suit the incumbent. Ask about Aburi conference and PDP zoning formula. But again, what did Macchiavelli say about agreements?...the moment it doesn't suit you any longer, ditch it and claim that you did that under duress or with incomplete information. shikena! 5 Likes |

Aliyu, what are you going to do about it? Abeg, get into the mud, play politics and quit whining helplessly. We all know GEJ is treacherous and "no gentleman" as IBB et al have always avowed so it must be especially sweet for the likes of IBB to now watch Aliyu, Lamido, Yuguda et al complaining about treachery today when, for the sake of personal ambition, they supported the personification of the word in 2011. Very rewarding watching all this 'drama'. PDP implosion under way and I will enjoy the show from my front aisle seat. 6 Likes |

The fact that these fools made him sign something proves how dumb and stvpiid he is and how selfish they are, let's wise up, drive them out and get a reliable under 40 guy/babe to run for president and vice and lock all these fools up. |
Re: Jonathan Signed An Agreement For One-Term - Aliyu by Nobody: 11:41am On Feb 16, 2013 |
I dont know the relevance of this so called agreement as the North clearly did not vote Jonathan in the last election. I personally think Jonathan will loose the next election if he dares to contest but what I will not accept are silly claims like these. The North is a section of Nigeria and bound by the provisions of our constitution. They do not have the power to renegotiate the terms of that consitution either in the dark or in day light. If they so want power they should identify a Presidential candidate they think can move this country forward and show us his track record while also tell us what he will do in office. Enough of this sectional madness!!!!!!!!!!!! 1 Like |

mikeansy: I dont know the relevance of this so called agreement as the North clearly did not vote Jonathan in the last election. I think Aliyu is invoking this so called agreement now because him, Lamido, Yuguda et al, against the advise of IBB and co, had delivered the States delegates GEJ needed to defeat Atiku at the PDP primaries. The thinking of Aliyu et al were two-fold. First, they thought by helping GEJ, who had pledged to do one term, they would have a clear path to the PDP Presidential ticket for 2015. Two, Aliyu and other Northern 'young guns' thought supporting GEJ to gain 4 years strategically weakens the older power brokers in the North like Atiku, IBB, Cirmoma et al because those guys would be 4 years older by 2015 and politically weaker. Finally, if you read again, you will note Aliyu stated that GEJ signed an agreement with Northern governors. He did not say GEJ signed an agreement with the North. That distinction must be made so we do not go on another round of Nairalanders unfairly ranting against the "born to rule" North. The Northern Governors, essentially limited to those within GEJ's own Party, did what they did for personal ambition so we must be careful not to drag the entire region into issues limited to the actions of a few.

Has the north ever honored any agreement even the one made to their slaves in the south tha Aburi in 1966 and the June12 Election one wonders if and how someone who does not honor agreement with others will expect others to honor their agreement. Goodluck should just run and run as fast as his constituency can carry him , Nigeria is too big and vast as a nation anybody who does not want GEJ should ask for a referendum like they are doing in Texas and California over Obama 1 Like |

kettykings: Has the north ever honored any agreement even the one made to their slaves in the south tha Aburi in 1966 and the June12 Election one wonders if and how someone who does not honor agreement with others will expect others to honor their agreement. ^^^Precisely! These northern ruling elite (core northern/moslem mainly) only think of 'being the gentleman' and 'honoring agreements' when the shoe's on the other foot; besides Aburi and June 12, i can think of so many other instances when they've royally shafted others, and not done things in the spirit of equity, fairness and keeping to ones word- like the distribution of oyel wells since the 70's; and mouthing off mere empty slogans after the civil war of 'no victor, no vanquished' only to then proceed to systematically underdevelop and marginalise the south east in all respects (political/economic/social). Any dubious agreements these 'owners of Nigeria' may have signed in some dingy dark room with GEJ is not worth the paper it's written on, and is unconstitutional insofar as Nigerians (with whom sovereignty lies) were not aware of or approved it.....so it's not binding on GEJ, and that's where the argument should end. These people have got some nerve, walahi! 13 Likes |
Re: Jonathan Signed An Agreement For One-Term - Aliyu by Nobody: 12:46pm On Feb 16, 2013 |
I really have no time to rationalise the politics of what Aliyu said or is trying to say. It is time to make it clear that we have to get past this silly entitlement mentality. Governor Aliyu is a Northern leader and since he made that comment no one from the North has come out to denounce it. If the constitution allows GEJ to contest the next election it should be GEJ's prerogative and no one else whether he chooses to contest or not. Aliyu can start telling Nigerians his programmes and how the PDP under his leadership will be any better than the current one. He can also provide his records in Niger State as proof to that effect. Enough of the deal making and politics of horse trading. Let him tell Nigerians what he can offer differently!!!! 5 Likes |
