Brother you took out from my mind..they won't smell that sit again..[b]I am laughing in Chinese. See who is talking about power shift. The North has been in power in this nation 85% of the time since we had independence. And they messed up everything. Jonathan is only trying to clean up the mess they created all these years from the ones Obasanjo couldn't finish cleaning. Jonathan is just the first South South president and someone is talking about power shift to the North, you are a dreamer.
If power has to shift, let me show you how it will shift.
Jonathan will stay in power till 2019 whether northerners like it or not.
Power will shift to An Igbo man from 2019 to 2027
Then power will shift to someone from North Central i.e Benue or Plateau state etc from 2027 to 2035
Then back to the South probably Soth West from 2035 to 2043
The core North should only dream of having power again from 2043.....
In 2011 all the Northern heavy weights ganged up including IBB, general Gusau, Atiku, etc etc what happened? Jonathan beat them all. Buhari is always a loser so he got roundly beaten by Jonathan too.
If Jonathan beat the whole heavy weight Northern establishment in 2011 when he didnt realy have his firm grips on power, is it in 2015 when He already deh Kampke that the North will beat him with a light-weight like Tambuwal? Am now laughing in Igbo. Agreement my foot. Who respects agreements in this country?[/b]

Tayo114: I'm calling on every Nigerian to vote for Fashola/ Tambual, we can trust these two young men, enough is enough!!!

slimghost:

Same applies to you sir!

doncartel: Jonathan should respect the agreement which he made public in Addis Ababa. We are not surprised because we know how sweet power is, but he should enjoy his one term and go home with his billions. Equity, fairness and justice demand power shift and federal character

honeric01:

You're calling him an 'animal' sir? Then you must be a lower 'animal' going by your utterance.

lorretta u: he is right sir.that his statement was animalistic with due respect sir.any right thinking individual who wants equity and fairness shouldn't talk about taking power to the North for at least 20yrs.we've seen enough of tribalism,favouritism and nepotism.so u sir should quit supporting the other animalistic sir.

I don't care where power shifts to, what i need is justice, fairness and good governance, does that make me too an animal?

spiritfada: 2015 Presidency: Northern Govs Set To Dump Jonathan

ABUJA — Strong  indications emerged, yesterday, that the North has taken a resolute decision not to support the candidature of President Goodluck Jonathan should he decide to run in 2015.

Rather than give its blessing to Jonathan’s re-election, the north is now fine-tuning strategies to project one of its leading lights for the presidency in 2015 with Speaker Aminu Tambuwal increasingly winning the favour of some northern governors.

Vanguard learnt from reliable sources that influential Northern political leaders were deeply concerned about the deteriorating quality of life in Nigeria, particularly in the North occasioned by endless poverty and intractable security challenges that have continued to claim lives and property.

In addition, political gladiators in the region were peeved by the attempt by President Jonathan to dump the gentleman’s agreement he reportedly entered into with Northern governors in 2010 to serve for only one term of four years.

A Northern governor, who told Vanguard that he was part of the team that brokered the deal with the president, described as shocking the seeming rebuttal of an agreement he said would have seen the ruling Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, zone its presidential ticket to the North in 2015.

The governor, who pleaded anonymity, pointed out that the denial of the deal was a calculated attempt to ridicule the North.

Jonthan must honour agreement with the North

He said: “Look, an agreement is an agreement whether written or verbal. In this case, Mr. President cannot say that he did not plead with us to back him for only a term after which he would return power to the North.

”Our position is that he should be gentleman enough to honour that agreement and concede power to the North on moral grounds.

“But let me tell you that the North is not happy with the attempt by the President to jettison what he agreed with us even when he went to Addis Ababa.

”It was based on the firm belief by us that he would run for a term that we mobilised our traditional, political and religious leaders at all levels in the North to support the election of Jonathan in 2011.

“However, if the President wants to take us for a ride, let him wait and see what we can do in 2015. We have decided to take our destiny in our hands by forging ahead as a group in the next election,” the source hinted.

North considers Tambuwal

It was learnt that although the Northern political leaders were united on the need to dump Jonathan and back one of their own in 2015, the major problem confronting them at the moment, was how to decide on a presidential candidate.

It was also gathered that while no fewer than five Northern governors were jostling for the presidential post, political leaders in the region were seriously mulling the idea of drafting the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu Tambuwal, into the race.

The decision to look in the direction of Tambuwal was borne out of the fear that the presidency could use the anti-graft agencies to scare the Northern governors, with eyes on the top post.

Those who favour drafting Tambuwal into the presidential race, argue that he possesses all the qualities of a good leader, who can take Nigeria to the next level, if given the opportunity.

Another northern governor, who is in support of Tambuwal said: “Not only is he very pragmatic and conversant with the Nigerian situation, he also possesses what the nation requires to move forward.

“In fact, I can tell you that the North is thinking seriously about the idea and we believe that at the right time it will be done,” the governor said

slimghost:

No sir, it doesn't, as long as you don't advocate for power to return to a particular tribe sir.

honeric01:

I repeat again, I dont CARE WHERE POWER shifts to as long as these 3 attributes are not missing from that person.

Show me which tribe is better when it comes to development (standard) and the rest of the attributes i listed in Nigeria and i'll permanently move to that part of the country!

slimghost:

Have you ever read where i was advocating on behalf of any tribe sir? My own is, let no particular tribe think that power is their birthright. We should be able to at least get good leaders from all the regions.

honeric01:

Now you're changing your tune, i am wondering which tribe ever came out to claim they have the birthright to leadership. If you have proofs, kindly post here abeg.

slimghost:

The Hausa/Fulani by claiming that they had an agreement with GEJ to allow him one term only for him to RETURN power to them. Return? Na their papa property ni? If that's not laying claim sir, please what is?
