…Say Jonathan should forget second term...before the elections 28th March 2015 From NOAH EBIJE, KADUNA ON JULY 17, 2013[/quote]
“Accepted that every part of this country should feel part of the leadership, and this is the basis of acceptance of rotation of power between the North and the South which was what happened in the constitution conference I attended, many of us attended. This is the basis of the rotation between the North and the South, there was no question of geo-political zones. The geo-political zones were latter introduction. “The argument at that time by the government in power was that the rotation was too much to put in the constitution, but it should be something that the party can put in its constitution. The agreement was that the President should do four years and rotate it to another zone for another four years. But when it was time to rotate, the then President Obasanjo begged the North to allow him do eight years before the power could shift to the North. “All of us were present, we all agreed with him. He was the first person to sign the agreement, not knowing that he had third term agenda in mind. Jonathan who was then the deputy governor, representing the Governor of Bayelsa State, was in that meeting, and he signed as number 37, you can find the document. “So, you see that we agreed that the south should have eight years, and then the North should have eight. Eventually, when Obasanjo having seen a lacuna somewhere, he tried to abandon the zoning as well as the constitution to seek for Third term, and of course, eventually it failed. “He thought, with due respect, that we will allow him without resistance to hand-pick a successor, he handpicked my younger brother, Umar Musa Yar’Adua, o kay, the condition has been satisfied, we had a northerner as president and so on. But Umar fell ill, and he died two and half years into his first tenure. So, it will make a lot of sense to accept the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria which says that for whatever reason if the President is not there, the Vice President will take over power. This was why Jonathan being his Vice President, took over the Presidency. “We thought that on moral ground at the end of that four years, the North should take over. If it didn’t have eight years because of the transition, at least, it should have six years. but they said no, no, and I don’t want to go into how this no translated into yes because it might be the fault of northerners as far as I am concerned to have allowed this. “They allowed it, but it was their turn, and Jonathan came in, and I thought that on moral ground, he should have given the North the chance. But some of them that signed the agreement publicly denied it. Obasanjo said he did not know about rotation, Jonathan himself said he did not know about rotation despite all the facts. Go to Chief Audu Ogbeh, he will give you the full story that this thing happened. The issue is that recently, we are now hearing from one of the governors, that there is a secret arrangement to allow Jonathan have another four years. It was revealed by the Governor of Niger State, Muazu Babangida Aliyu. “It makes you think that how can leaders be transparent if they cannot honour simple agreement whether written or unwritten. This is the hallmark of decent leadership, believe and honour agreement. So, first, there was an agreement for this kind of rotation, and there is immorality in the movement of people not to really hand over this time to us,” Prof. Abdullahi said. http://sunnewsonline.com/new/?p=32663 This just shows that the "One Nigeria" only exist in the minds of the POOOOOR......the Politricians don't care OR give a hoot about anybody but themselves (at Night & early mornings, they don't sleep like you & I)

Continue to decieve yourself.. What will happen to d constitution of Nigeria that says presidency will rotatate btween the north and the soutj. Two dont be deceived with Jega's election that was rigged every where and Tinunbu's selfish ambition that gave buhari SW. This will not be a standard for you to assume the north holds the Ace. Very soon APC will regret if the north scheme Tinubu out as leader. Simply making all SW APC states decamp to pdp finish the drama. Above all d constitution and wise electorates will nevr give the greedy north the room to achieve what you are thinking. Be wise |

The problem with the south is not the north, . . Their haughty threats notwithstanding, the north remains vulnerable . . The problem with the south is the south west who seem to have firmly decided that the best place to feed is from the northerners behind. . If the north never gets lackeys from the south to run their errands, this talk of eternal northern domination amounts to nothing but a massaging of tribal ego. 3 Likes |

From the title alone, I know it must be one of the numerous crap churned out by the children of sorrow, anger, hatred and anguish to try and split us along ethnic and religious lines. I can bet my life nowhere in the article would you find any quote as captioned in the title. And they call other people liars. 3 Likes |

More childish baiting by some silly individuals, learn from the lesson of PDP and Jonathan. Nigerians are the ones voting, Nigerian voters come from all parts of Nigeria and are made up of all groups in Nigeria. Nigerians would be the ones to pick the presidents. That reality will sink in better for everyone as the country continues to improve its electoral system. 1 Like |

I thereby declared what Angola Abdullahi said is the truth and nothing but the truth so help me God. Demographic advantage is the panacea to winning election in a democracy. The North in their Magnanimity included 'rotation' for national integration. But the South in their power drunkenness jettison it. And base on Natural endowment - just like the South with the oil, the North is with the demographic advantage. |
