The Arewa Youth Movement, after a rigorous screening exercise, has listed 60 Nigerians, most of them of northern extraction, to succeed Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan as President of the Federal republic of Nigeria. These are persons they believe can tackle the present level of underdevelopment, insecurity and disunity in the country. Although the nominees cut across different ideological orientations and political parties, they are mainly liberals, progressives and even radicals. Three names have been selected from each state, on the basis of geo-political representation and considerations that favour merit as well as ethnic, gender and religious inclusiveness. Clearly, some states have stronger candidates than others, and the process is continuous, based on agreed criteria for further pruning. In drawing up the list, consideration was also given to leaders from different vocational backgrounds. Additional criteria included credibility, good education, consistency, reasonable levels of low or lack of corruption, public sector experience, patriotism, national and international acceptability, and firmness and strength of character to implement fundamental development projects. The Movement is very optimistic that one of its nominees will emerge as the next President of Nigeria, after a continuing process of processing, including public debates and public scrutiny of the potentials of the candidates. The other nominees will then be expected to support the winner to run the country well on the basis of collective leadership. If for any reason, the President is to come from the South, three nominees: 1. Chief Emeka Anyaoku; 2. Dr. Donald Duke; and 3. Governor Rotimi Amaechi, are to be considered.

They ar just wasting their time. What they could not achieve since 1960, is t in the yr 2016 that they think its possible. They have just succeeded in arousing the desire of some people who were not nursing the ambition of becoming a president, to give it a trial. But northerners should forget the presidential seat for now. 6 Likes |

So what were the criteria used? With Atiku and some others on that list I want to believe NO criterion was used and so this list should be ignored. |
