The President of the Arewa Youth Consultative Forum, Yerima Shettima, has criticised all former heads of state from the North for the backwardness the region is experiencing at the moment, while condemning delegates at the national conference who are against establishing a special fund to rehabilitate the North-East. Shettima told SUNDAY PUNCH that all northern leaders who had ruled the country and other northern elite failed to lift the region when they had the opportunity to do so. According to him, they have plunged the northerners further into poverty. The AYC leader said, “What they have been able to bequeath to the region instead is backwardness, illiteracy, poverty and lack of employment. There’s poverty all over the northern region as a result of their bad stewardship; lack of accountability and transparency. “For more than two decades of their being in power in Nigeria since independence and having the opportunities to transform the North, they failed to lift up the region. That’s why today the northerners receive all types of insults from their southern counterparts. “None of the leaders -name any of them -has been exceptional. They have not done anything. But, a member of the National Executive Council of the Arewa Consultative Forum, Alhaji Mohammed Abdulrahman, told SUNDAY PUNCH that the comment of Shettima on leadership failure in the North was mere grandstanding. According to him, many of the northern former heads of state are men who want the best not only for northerners but for the whole nation. The ACF chieftain said, “We are worried about Nigeria. It’s not really time to apportion blame. It’s true northerners had ruled the country more than any other regions. Nonetheless, I will tell you these leaders are good men. They are not the cause of the North’s problems. “I won’t say they’re the cause of our woes. What he (Shettima) said is grandstanding; he’s only doing political grandstanding. Young people like him like to make all the noise. They’re not aware of the tricks and intrigues of politics. www.punchng.com/news/northern-leaders-caused-norths-backwardness/ |

They need to change their mentality. The north has the capacity to become one of the wealthiest region in Nigeria if only they invest their time on Agriculture. Unfortunately the same people crying of underdevelopment are the same people fighting against true federalism. Without true federalism, the north will continue to wallop in poverty and mediocrity. 1 Like |

The earlier these northern youth take over from those crazy old fools the better for them in the North. Meanwhile, Yerima Shettima should watch his back. U have committed a taboo. Now u can see, the real problem of Nigeria. |

HisRoyalHardnes: I hate Buhari and all those who are deceived to believe he represents anything positive. Don't be silly. The only thing you love is the crisp Naira notes you're paid to post comments on nairaland. I'm surprised there are so many agreeing with this Arewa Youth fellow. I thought most of you lapdogs have been trying to tell us for years that Buhari diverted most of the PTF projects to sites in the North when he was the PTF chairman? Has the story changed now? Did he neglect the North and develop the South instead, making you all liars? Answers, please. |

The North is backward yes, but the South is not even better either. Poverty, hunger, unemployment, insecurity, educational backwardness are all present and have their strong root in the south also. The collective actions and inaction of our past and present leaders in Nigeria are responsible for all these. After all, every govt has collection of leaders from different parts of the country who converge to take decisions on behalf all of us be it decision to allocate juicy contracts, loot money, or positions etc. When OBJ was d president, Hausas, Igbos, yorubas, Niger Deltans were all in his government in their good numbers sharing and looting our common resources. |

Yeah, they are responsible!! They had the chance to exclusively develop their region without anyone raising a finger in objection during the era of military dictatorships but failed to do so, and instead, chosed to develop other regions.

This does not explain Goatluck monumental failure in delivering any of his electoral promises! Buhari a true Nigerian would never sectarianize gorvernace for the North or his people instead he ran an inclusive government that sort to unite all Nigerians, jonathan on the other have personalise goverment for his people while inciting the remainder of nigerians against each other. |
