A former governor of Kaduna State and chieftain of the Conference of Nigerian Political Parties, Alhaji Balarabe Musa, on Saturday said it was wrong for former President Goodluck Jonathan to claim that the entire North worked against him in 2011 and 2015 general elections.

Although he said he felt Jonathan was not competent to continue to lead the country, he supported the former President in the 2015 presidential election because he did not want President Muhammadu Buhari to win the election.

A former governor of Kano State, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, also said he wished Jonathan well.

The former President, in his new book, “My Transition Hours,” said some Peoples Democratic Party governors worked against him in 2015.

Musa, who recently announced his retirement from active politics because of age and failing health, noted that he supported the former President against the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Buhari, in the election.

The former governor, who emphatically told one of our correspondents on the telephone that he was not speaking for the North, said the Peoples Redemption Party publicly endorsed the former President in Akwa Ibom in 2015.

According to him, his reason for endorsing Jonathan was that Buhari and the APC represented ‘fascism’.

He said, “I don’t represent the North. I can’t comment on this. He (Jonathan) should know who was against him. I was not against him.

“In fact, in 2015, we favoured him. We preferred him to Buhari because we regarded Buhari and his APC as fascists. Even though Jonathan is equally incompetent, we feltthe PDP was safer.”

Kwankwaso, who was in the PDP until he defected to the APC in 2015, and this year rejoined the PDP, spoke through Binta Sipikin, in response to a question by one of our correspondents.

He said, “I don’t think the former President was specifically referring to Senator Kwankwaso. Hence, there is no need for any response. However, the senator wishes former President Goodluck Jonathan well in all his feature endeavours.”

Some northern youths also accused the ex-President of failing to honour his agreement with them.

The National President of the Arewa Youth Consultative Forum, a coalition of over 30 youth organisations in the North, Alhaji Yerima Shettima told one of our correspondents why the region worked against former President Jonathan.

Shettima said the insistence of the former President to contest the 2015 presidential election forced the North especially the Northern Elders’ Forum to mobilise against that administration.

He said, “The North was against the former President because he failed to honour a gentleman agreement. Instead of him to either resign or quit the stage for a northerner, he reneged.

“So, the Northern Elders’ Forum under the leadership of the late Yusuf Maitama Sule, felt the battle line was drawn and worked against him

Buhari and the APC represented
‘fascism'
Is this not the same guy who's PRP didn't field a presidential candidate and backed mr. Lifeless? ?
This dude is the most politically barren looser to ever emerge from the north, heck, Sowore is more popular than him here in Kaduna. . .

Who asked you?

Lol
Even my 7 year old kid knows Jonathief is an incompetent ogogoro sinking drunkard .
Mr clueless himself

Our government is weak.

Check my signature

This is one word that gets bandied about so much it has turned to a cliche. Jonathan's prime weakness, in my opinion, was giving his subordinates too much leeway. He had surrounded himself with reputable allies, but the problem was that their loyalty were questionable. Ask those who peddle this thought to criticize this famed "incompetence" and they begin to stutter.

Another weakness of Jonathan was his naive attempt to appease the Northern elites. He learnt the bitter truth the hard way.

The Northern elites are like tribal wild dogs. Their cultural and religious proclivities make their aspirations inherently tribal. The feudalistic nature of their existence is against the very principle of liberalism which Jonathan was trying to introduce to them.

The North has had the most turn at power but their region is the most poverty ridden, the most diseased, the most violent, the most uneducated. It is not accidental, but rather by design.

The North eats its own, and that is why it will remain a cesspool of filth and desolation.

You want to introduce many new universities and hundreds of schools to a region that has strategically created a system to deny their population the benefit of education and keep them oppressed? Goodluck with that.

You want to introduce a system that engenders merit and responsibility, rather than gratify quota system and incompetence? Again, I say goodluck with that.

It's no wonder why most policies originated by Jonathan have been inevitably looked at by this government, even the ones they railed against.

Don't be fooled by the filths of propaganda.

We get your time Abi?

Taking time to react to a statement made by the drunk from Otueke means you have nothing meaningful to do with your time

100%

They have started to explain themselves

Home.. This Balarabe Musa is a big fat liar... I was in Kaduna during GEJ administration when he lead one of the biggest demonstration against GEJ

Jonathan the mumu is out...i voted for in 2011...thinking he got something to offer....but the slowpoke was just dishing up money like it was going out of fashion....

And for the north....Nigeria presidency is not their birthright...they should get that into their empty skulls....

But sadly, atiku and buhari are from there...so meaning they will still be there till 2023 and beyond.....what a shame to the southerners....the southerners are weak politically......

And the Atikulooters want to bring back corruption. Never.

And what do you have now? Misplaced priorities

GEJ did more for the North than most northern presidents. That led to his downfall actually, trying to please extremists

Jonathan wasn’t incompetent he only indirectly permitted corruption bt he was far from incompetent.

And the man who’s taken you to the POVERTY CAPITAL OF THE WORLD worse than India with its over 1 billion population is not incompetent.

My friend, do yourself a favour and tell yourself some truths. Your education, growth and everything you represent is fundamentally flawed and incompetent.

It is only in Nigeria you find people throwing support behind an incompetent politician.

The north worked against him,just own up to it......
