[b] 2015: How we will stop the South – Northern
elders

The clamour for the presidency to return to the North
in 2015 is growing. No fewer than four prominent
groups are now championing the cause. The
campaign was initially spearheaded by two groups –
Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) and Northern Elders
Forum (NEF). Last week, the four northern groups
signalled that the presidency will not remain with a
southerner beyond the next general elections.
In other words, incumbent President Goodluck
Jonathan, from the South-south, suspected of nursing
re-election, will not return to power. They claimed to
have conceded power to the South to give it a sense
of belonging, saying, whether by power rotation or
voting power, the North would upstage the South
from the presidency in 2015.
The groups also said that once North was back in
power, it could decide to hold unto it indefinitely. The
spokesman for the groups, Prof. Ango Abdullahi, who
spoke in Kaduna, said: “Let me state that ACF, to
many people, is not being as assertive on 2015 as
they wish. This is not correct. Here in the North , we
have certain tradition that sometimes people
misread as a weakness”.
North must take back power
“The fact that we don’t come out in shouting match
and in abusive language and so on sometimes gives
the wrong impression that we do not have deep-
rooted concern for ourselves about 2015. This is not
true. The South-south is a tiny enclave of a few
people, perhaps not bigger than Kaduna State”, Prof.
Ango Abdullahi, a former vice chancellor of Ahmadu
Bello University, Zaria (ABU) and the NEF leader, told
journalists.
He continued: “The North is determined and is
insistent that the leadership of the country will rotate
to it in 2015. “And I am making that very clear. ACF
in front because they have been the oldest group, the
Middle Belt Forum and our other groups have been
very active and strong. All of us are likely to have this
very tough but a common agenda.
It is not that the North is power blind. No! it will be
argued on the rational agreement on ground today.
“The North, on the basis of one-man-one-vote, can
keep power indefinitely in the present Nigeria state.
If it is on the basis of one-man – one-vote, the
demography shows that the North can keep power as
long as it wants because it will always win elections.

God has taken the govt of Nigeria away from the northerners. If they try to take it by force, just like Abacha and Yaradua, the person will still die in office. Abubakar only succeeded because he did not hold unto power.

What do expect from senseless set of IDIO.TS!

"Presidency will remain with the North indefinitely"

Illiterate WAWAs!

This one na irritating piece from them!

Even the intelligent ones are not even fronting.....its been said, "empty drums make the loudest noise"

Stupid hopeless agbayas!

All we hear these idiots rant about is about themseves and their political ambitions. I don't give a 4ck what tribe the next president comes from, I want a leader that will for once put the needs of the masses before their greedy ambitions.

I blame u ppl 4 commenting on the Rants of an Old fool!
