Our attention has been drawn to the activities and
pronouncements of the Governors of Adamawa, Jigawa,
Kano and Niger States who have been going round the
country inciting tension and division with the obvious
intention of destabilizing the government of President
Goodluck Ebele Jonathan. The objective of these activities,as they themselves trumpeted is to get a “northerner” by which they mean Hausa Fulani, replace President Jonathan in 2015, or even by any means possible.

After meeting with Rivers State Governor Mr. Rotimi
Chibuike Amaechi in controversial circumstances aimed at
inciting tension between the Niger Delta and other parts of Nigeria, the group proceeded to Abeokuta to see General Olusegun Obasanjo and therefter to Minna to meet with Generals Ibrahim Babangida and Abdulsalam Abubakar to “report” President Goodluck Jonathan. They reportedly asked the two Generals to intervene in a way that will make “our dreams become a reality”. General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida, the man who annulled the June 12 elections and championed the northern consensus programme that excluded Dr. Sarah Jibril, thereafter declared them patriots for their actions.

It is obvious to see the direction these people are coming
from. Like Ango Abdullahi and a few others crying
themselves hoarse about “it is the turn of the North(arewa) in 2015” it is inconceivable and totally unacceptable to them to be out of power “for so long” . As far as they are concerned only them should rule Nigeria, notwithstanding the fact that the Hausa Fulani North have had as President and Prime Minister, Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa , Alhaji Usman Aliyu Shehu Shagari, and Alhaji Umaru Musa YarAdua. They have had, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and Alhaji Namadi Mohammed Sambo as Vice Presidents. General Obasanjo of the South West was President for eight years, and Yar ‘Adua’s eight years would not have been debated if God had not ruled otherwise by allowing the cold hands of death on May 5, 2010 to snatch him away from us. Yar’ Adua’s erstwhile Deputy, from one of the many minority ethnic groups naturally contested and, thanks to the support from his native South South, South East, Middle Belt and South West, won the 2011 Presidential Election. This is the first time Nigeria’s Leader has emerged from the South South.

For Aliyu Muazu Babangida, the man who voted against
President Goodluck Jonathan during the PDP Primaries and in the 2011 general elections, Jonathan should not have been elected in the first place and anything done to get him out as quickly as possible is patriotism, hence the
desperation. It would have been funny were it not so rude, incorrect and based on a flawed understanding of the dynamics playing out in Nigeria today.

Secondly the patriotism which these gentlemen were
adorned with by General Ibrahim Babangida must be
based on the recent “disgrace” they meted out to Governor David Jonah Jang. Alhaji Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, the former Right Honourable Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, when Babangida was military president gloated that they played politics on Jang and President Jonathan, when he, Kwankwaso at a meeting presided over by Aliyu Babangida, and attended by other northern
Governors, nominated Jang as consensus candidate for the NGF chairmanship only to dump him a few hours after.

Hapless Jang, who had no intention of contesting for the
chairmanship of the NGF, was left stranded? or so they
wished.How will this not be patriotism to General Ibrahim
Babangida? During Babangida’s transition to civil rule
programme General Yakubu Gowon had the same Jang
treatment meted to him when he was asked to start his
option A4 presidential bid from Zaria.

What is more? Kwankwaso gleefully related what happened to the media and said they wanted to teach Jonathan politics. To nominate someone who was not interested in an office with the intention of disgracing him shows how honourable Kwankwaso really is. And Jang’s constituency,the Middle Belt, is supposed to be amused by such a shoddy treatment of our own? We are supposed to nod our heads enthusiastically when the establishment cries “there is only one indivisible north”! Besides, can these Honourable men whose words don’t mean anything to them be trusted when they speak of one north? How will you know when they want to teach politics and when they are telling the truth?

A section of the North overwhelmingly voted for Buhari in
2011. As a matter of fact Kwankwaso in Kano printed
campaign posters with the pictures of Buhari
superimposed on them. Aliyu Muazu and Murtala Nyako
voted for Buhari in the 2011 elections. The President got
about 18% of the votes in Kano. Yet President Goodluck
Jonathan has bent surprisingly backward to accommodate and make them the mainstay of his government. The fact that they nominated most ministers and senior political appointees has not satisfied them. They are working assiduosly hard to throw him out before the end of his tenure.

We reaffirm our position that post-Goodluck Ebele Jonathan presidency is for the Middle Belt. We in the Middle Belt do not agree with the agitation that power should leave the Niger Delta now. By the natural reconfiguration of the zoning formula as a result of the natural death of President Umaru Musa Yar Adua, the Niger Delta is still supported by the Middle Belt to conclude its eight year tour of duty. It is significant to note that the artificial security challenges created by those who said that they would make the country ungovernable are being addressed; the railway
lines which stopped working during the administration of
General Ibrahim Babangida have slowly but steadily
started to work; massive power transmission lines are
being installed across the country. In terms of performance therefore, those persecuting Jonathan cannot claim to have performed as much as he has let alone say better.

On Governor Amaechi and the orchestrated tension in
Rivers State, we wish to align ourselves with the advice
given to him by Yinka Odumakin, and echoed by the South South Peoples Assembly; We wish to remind him that those who ride on the tiger back end up in its belly. Those who are clapping for him now to weaken and or undermine President Jonathan love him only to the extent that he keeps undermining Jonathan. Not long from now they will give him the Gowon, Abiola and Jang treatment.

Amaechi and his cohorts should remember how the
Northern People’s Congress (NPC) used Akintola to weaken Awolowo’s support base in the early 1960s; The people of South South are not so unwise calculators that will prefer the number two position of Governor Adams Oshiomhole or Rotimi Amaechi to the number one? Come on!

We wish to remind the South South citizens that the
Northern agenda, as championed by these Governors, is to use a southerner to destroy a southerner and nothing
more. These characters lauded as patriots are but cheap
traitors running an unpopular script that is doomed to fail.A word is enough for the wise.Abi-O.

Honourable Aminu Zang
Member, House of Representatives -1993

Benue isn't connected to the National Grid??

You Don't Say!

The days of a monolithic north are gone.

The hausa-fulani political stock should adapt to change cos nigerians are wiser now though we still have some misguided politicians who are hell-bound in trying to sell their people for selfish interests.

Willy4Willy:

You beta start gathering left over frum Jonathan table now cos by 2015 starvation will kill you,ur oga will go back to otueke

I don't need any left over because am not born into hunger, bear in mind that Jonathan is your president till 2019, then igbo will take over or any Christian from Middle Belt

If the Hausa fulanis think we from the middle belt are as foolish as our grand fathers, then they are in for a shock. If they said a norther must become the president, then let that northerner be a middle belter to prove that we are part of their north. You can't fool all the people all the time.

I thought Babangida, Abdusalami and Gowon are all from middle belt. Or which middle belt are you talking about?

Middle belt in total have ruled for 18 yrs.

Gowon 9, IBB 8 Abdulsalam 1

When the time comes uou will know who is the middle beltan.
We are fully aware of hausa fulani people in our midst and we know them.
We know ourselfs who is and who is not a beltan.

Babangida and abdulsalami saraki are fulanis by proxy so keep mute till then we will open to them their true identity.
Forget the blabbing around they are nupe this that we know them.

The Middle belt should stand up to these Northerners. They have suffered enough.

Iam from benue state,and iam telling you,you guys are just making noise,come 2015 Jonathan will go back to fishing in otueke river.
As for igbo president,that remain an uphill task that can never be acheive in nigerian history,as for middle belt they rule for so many year without result,or u guys think ibb and abdulsalam are not frum middle belt?
Wakeup ye blind people,for ss and se cannot put Jonathan back in aso rock,he and his sheppo woman will be history,,,,,willywilly will look for food but he will find none,then only then that he will know that God has spoken to me.


A sane question for middle belters,what is the presence of jonathan administration in middle belt that earn him second term in office?

ichidodo: The Middle belt should stand up to these Northerners. They have suffered enough.

Bro,they will not do anything,some of these people are wth pdp others with acn,tell me how middle belt will produce a president.
The only people who can make that to come pass iz ibb and abdulsallam whom you guys said they are not from middle,without them middle belt will remain a name,people like suswan,old man jang,and few other governors have nothing to offer politically.

In Rivers (to solidify the crisis), the northern governors left for otta (to officially sanction the crisis) and then move to Minna (to give a status report to the mega-godfather).

This is a great triangular movement, the bermuda triangular movement, all in a bid to capture\retake the lost treasure. May God help southern naija.

You are irrational. Nigerian presidency or leadership is not an exclusive club of Hausa/Fulani. Their leadership of the country has brought the country to its knees. Abacha's loots are still being recovered! Under Babangida Nigeria's infrastructures totally collapsed, election results were annulled and Nigeria became bankrupt. If PDP is so bereft of wisdom to nominate a Hausa/Fulani as its flag-bearer, you can rest assured that they will lose. The rest of the country have had enough of a tiny minority in the North ruling this country and running it to the ground. Rather it is you who should cover your face in shame for introducing large-scale corruption and looting of national treasury into Nigeria.

So what you are trying to tell me now is that,during obasanjo who happen to come from the south and not north,there was a massive development and zero curruption right?
Finally the present president from the south south his administration is curuption free is that what you mean.
From the inception of democracy in nigeria to date,no president have done or will do what abacha,ibb and abdullsallam etc have done to this country,you guys hate this fellows cos they are not xtians,look at what a xtian,a southerner is doing to this nation,wakeup pls

The 2013 election is gathering momentum soon we will be feeling the heat. To the hausa / fulani: you can fool some of the people some of the time not all the people all time. The mistake of annulling june 12, election is a mistake too many
This what brought in Obasanjo that opened the eyes of middle - beltans and the rest. To reverse this trend? I don't see an easy task. Soon some of the monarchs barely going along with Sultan of Sokoto will begin to dare him and your youths will be rebeling against the status quo. Annulment of June 12 is a mistake too many.
Long live to an emerging Nigeria.

There is corruption in Nigeria but it became large-scale under Abacha, IBB etc. These two practically turned Nigeria into a basket case. As pointed out previously, Abacha's stolen billions are still being recovered and IBB is sitting on top of his because GEJ is too afraid to probe him.
