Southern Leaders, Northern Govs Fight Over Benue. News by Stingman: 12:22pm On Jan 20, 2018
An attack on Southern and Middle Belt leaders, on Friday, by the chairman of the Northern Governors’ Forum (NGF), Governor Kashim Shettima of Borno State, elicited a prompt rebuke from the leaders.

Shettima, who led a delegation of some northern governors to Benue State over recent killings by Fulani herdsmen in the state, described Southern and Middle Belt leaders as “political dinosaurs” with nothing more to contribute to national development.

The leaders, in their response, described the statement as rude and uncouth, saying “no well raised” person would address elderly persons as the northern governors did.

Leaders of the pan-Yoruba political organisation, Afenifere, Ohanaeze and Middle Belt Forum, had, on Wednesday visited the Benue State governor, Samuel Ortom, to commiserate with him over the recent killings and mass burial of 73 people in the state. They called for a restructuring of the country.

But on Friday, leading Governors Simon Lalong (Plateau), Malam el-Rufai (Kaduna), Yahaya Bello (Kogi) and Mohammad Abubakar (Jigawa), Shettima described the southern leaders as old men who were living in the past with “nothing to give Nigeria again.”

The deputy governor of Osun State, Chief (Mrs) Titilayo Tomori, also joined the team to represent her governor, Mr Rauf Aregbesola.

The governor, who used the visit to lash at leaders of the Joint South and Middle Belt Forum, expressed disgust that people were trying to make politics out of the crisis, stating that “none of those people could say they know problems of this state than the governor.”

Shettima, who refused to condemn the activities of the herdsmen throughout his speech and during interaction with newsmen, said problems were created by men and only men could find solution to the problems.

Pray..

Where are the southern governors in all these?

The ACF, NEF and the northern governors have taken positions. Very soon the Arewa youths will take position.

Southern Nigeria is being carried by southern leaders who are getting old and tired.

Where is the younger southern governors and youths in all these? cool cool cool

Have they accepted to be conquered people?

If only the entire south and the middle belt can close ranks, they will be able to elect any president they want in any election. Fulani is actually a tiny minority making so much noise since buhari entered

The middle belt should stop deceiving themselves they are northerners. That's the first step.

E go soon reach Lalong turn. Make him dey fool himself with those rotten-toothed abooki governors. I watched him on NTA fooling himself while Bishop Kukah was laughing at his idiocy.

When they suyalize his people he will start running down south for pity and support. When we now tell them the truth, they'll call us 'haters'.

I don't really blame these abokki people..


I blame the middle beltans
Who are willing tools of the Fulani
They are called North Central when they are needed
They are butchered and chased away when they have been used and dumped

Just take a good look at tuface and David mark in all of these... Then you will understand
