Northerner Must Emerge President In 2015 Or Nigeria Will Divide. -
Alhaji Lawal Kaita.
Alhaji Lawal Kaita, the close ally of former Vice President, Atiku
Abubakar, who famously promised in October 2010 that the North
would make Nigeria ungovernable for President Jonathan if he won
the 2011 election is again spitting fire.
This time around he is insisting that a Northerner must emerge by
2015 or there would be no Nigeria. Kaita said “We hear rumours all
over that Jonathan is planning to contest in 2015.
Well, the north is going to be prepared if the country remains one.
That is, if the country remains one, we are going to fight for it. If not,
everybody can go his way,” he said in an interview in Katsina.
Alhaji Lawal Kaita said the recent stand of the party on consensus
was a total negation of the motive behind forming the party.
It may be recalled that Alhaji Kaita had said in October 2010 that
"The North is determined, if that happens, to make the country
ungovernable for President Jonathan or any other Southerner who
finds his way to the seat of power on the platform of the PDP against
the principle of the party’s zoning policy".
Kaita, founding member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and
close ally of former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, had at that time
warned that the North should not be blamed for the calamity that will
befall the country, if Jonathan emerges President.
Now, if Nigerians had thought that Kaita was joking, his own
principal, former vice president, Atiku Abubakar, had come out
openly on the 14th of December 2010 to say " Let me again send
another message to the leadership of our great country, especially
the political leadership that those who make peaceful change
impossible, make violent change inevitable.”
I am one of the G18 members who founded the PDP and we formed
the party because of our firm belief in election. I have contested
election five or six times.
We believed in election, but now the whole thing has collapsed”.
“They are running away from election.
This entire consensus thing doesn’t make sense.
For us who formed the PDP, we regret what is happening now. Ten
candidates, overnight, all stepping down for one person!
All the candidates were renowned and each of them is capable of
running the party, but they all withdrew…”
Kaita, who was a governor of the old Kaduna State, insisted that the
just concluded national convention of the PDP was devoid of
excitement, noting: “Tukur is a highly qualified person but the fact
that he allowed himself to be used as Jonathan’s candidate is what
has lowered his status.

Born to rule mentality. Does the nation belong to them alone? Look at one goro chewing dirty and haggard looking, dirty almajiri talking nonsense as if Nigeria belongs to his father.
