2019: We Would Rather Die With Buhari, Than Vote A Southerner – Northern Leaders

Senior Northern Leaders on Monday, October 10, have said that despite the current economic woes characterizing the President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration, their votes for him (Buhari), in the 2015 Presidential election, were never wasted.
A former Secretary of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, who spoke on behalf of the Northern Elders, at the Northern Group’s Summit, organised by the Northern Elders Forum, in Kaduna, said that if Buhari, or any Northern candidate contests for Presidency in 2019, they would gladly vote in their favour.
While speaking, Hakeem said: “Today, we meet in Kaduna, in a vastly-improved security atmosphere, with the Boko Haram sect pinned to enclaves. Some will say thank you to President Buhari; we will say, you have delivered on one of your promises, which was to improve our security.”
Hakeem however, reminded the President, that there was hunger and starvation in the land. He said, “We will not join those who say President Buhari, should stop reminding us of a past that is haunting us today, but we will join those who remind him daily, that hunger is stalking millions of homes.
“Inflation is making life difficult by the day. People are losing their jobs. Businesses are closing down. “Infrastructure is decaying. Young Nigerians are losing hope of being employed. Our hospitals are full of people who suffer mysterious illnesses, and they cannot afford the fees.”
Hakeem, said despite the current economic woes in the country, the Northern votes for Buhari in 2015, were not wasted, insisting that the North did not make a mistake in voting for the President. He added, “So, those who are disposed to listen, please listen. Northern votes were not wasted in electing President Buhari.
“In 2019, we will also use our votes in a manner consistent with our interests as Northerners. We did not make a mistake in putting up a solid, united front as Northerners, in spite of our ethno-religions differences.” Meanwhile, the Chairman, Northern Governors Forum, and helmsman of Borno State, Alhaji Kashim Shettima, has said that nobody, be it the Indigenous People of Biafra, or any other separatist agitators, can divide Nigeria.
Shettima, said the current calls by some Nigerians, particularly the Igbos, and other ethnic nationalities in the country, were purely the handiwork of those who had lost in the “chess of power politics” in the country.
He noted, that there was no single ethnic nationality in the country that had a greater stake in the continued existence of Nigeria than the Igbos, saying that continuous agitation for the decimation of the country, would remain an illusion.
Besides, Shettima argued that the greatest tragedy that befell the country, was the emergence of the Goodluck Jonathan administration. The Borno State Governor, further noted that the Jonathan administration, made every effort to not only divide the North, but the entire country along ethnic and religious lines.
He added, that no matter the differences, nobody, or group could balkanize the Nigerian nation.

Eeeyaahhh.

Learning without character has taken us no where. If it is an ex-truck pusher that will take us to the next level then so be it. Enough of criminal minds disguising as intellectuals.

No b lie!

This thread is prone to ban.... I am out of here

And some dumbass would think it is a united Nigeria..

Time for de-amalgamation abeg

We were never and will never be one..

That is the simple and undiluted truth..

So sad south is not united..

You think we would waste our time under sun to vote. Apart from governorship every other post would experience low turn out. We all will sink together but remember this southerners would always float ahead. The north can drown in their backwardness.

Hmmm

Ok o! Una fit die with una buhari.but here in the south(better south) we still gat plenty use for dis life,laced with prosperity and excellent health. We say RIP in advance..

Whenever these northern dimwits "leaders" seat, nine out of ten times, I run temperature. I run temperature because I sense another bombshell is in the offing.

They are so poor in thought, crude and tactless! In truth, if you're looking for a reason why Nigeria is such a divisive entity, look no further than these urchins that lay claims to leadership, the northern elders (I am struggling to refer to them as that, tbh).

With the exception of a few, these are people that made it to the top out of natural progression. They had almost everything handed to them on a platter with little to no efforts of theirs. So, on the one hand, I'm not really surprised at their poor skills at dealing with people or poor choice of words.

Every reaction down South has always been in response to the stupid things happening North of Nigeria, which is why I understand those who resent the northerners so strongly and I think that to some degree, such resentment is not misplaced.

Imagine if everyone held bigoted and supremacist opinions of they and their kinsmen as my people do, would we not have been in an anarchy? They sure wouldn't have had a Nigeria to rule to begin with.

These people turn logic on its head each time that they seat. Left to me, that stupid association should be disbanded. They are up to no good at all.

Apologies to our brothers in the South. I'm really disappointed!
