The Northern Elders’ Forum (NEF) has sounded a warning to President Goodluck Jonathan, telling him that he would have to contend with a unified north should he insist on seeking another term in 2015.

NEF spokesman, Prof Ango Abdullahi, gave this warning yesterday in Kaduna during an exclusive interview with our correspondent.

Commenting on why the north is putting its act together in order to present a formidable team, Abdullahi said, “We are trying now to unify our people (northerners) that have been divided along ethnic and religious lines in the last two years.

And very soon you will hear the north talking from one platform.

“President Jonathan should just be ready to either park out or jump out of Aso Rock.He should be ready to fight a unified northin 2015.”

He further expressed the group’s belief that the insurgency in the north was being fuelled as a strategy to stigmatise the region.

“From all indications, the president has already stigmatised some parts of the country as being Boko Haram, and that everything about the violence in the north must be Boko Haram, but we know that the original Boko Haram by Mohammed Yusuf is not solely responsiblefor all the bombings that have been taking place.

“The Boko Haram syndrome may be a strategic plan to portray the north as morally unfit to rule; it is also a strategic plan to divide the country along north andsouth, or along religious and ethnic lines,” he said, adding that those behind such evil act would regret their actions in due time.

Abdullahi, a former vice chancellor of the Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), Zarai, further claimed that President Jonathan was always known as somebody who likes to take sides.

According to him, “Jonathan is only a theoretical president of Nigeria; but, practically, he has demonstrated that he is a president of a section of the country. He has always spoken in defence of his Niger Delta people. He is always fond of exonerating his people.

“You can see a president exonerating a criminal such as the October 1 bombings in 2010. He has also come out to say that Boko Haram has infiltrated his government, and that Boko Haram members are in his government, the Army, the Police and even in the Villa. Thiswe know is a strategy to stigmatise any candidate from the north come 2015.”

On whether Jonathan should contest the 2015 presidential election, Abdullahi said, “Whether Jonathan is free to contest the 2015 election or not is the business of Bamagan Tukur; all we are hoping is that he is not speaking on behalf of the people of the north.

“If Bamagan Tukur is familiar with the history of zoning by his party since 1999, one would be surprised that Bamagan Tukur, who comes from this part of the country, is talking about Jonathan contesting election in 2015. But then, that is the business of the PDP.

The people of north would certainly take adecision to bring a consensus candidate come 2015.”

He further argued that the region should be allowed to conclude its eight years andanything short of that would not be acceptable.

“The north gave former President Olusegun Obasanjo his full eight years; it is only normal that the north should be allowed to conclude our eight years, started by the late President Umaru Yar’Adua,” he said.

On Niger State Governor Babangida Aliyu’s insistence that President Jonathan had signed a one-term agreement, Abdullahi said that the governor’s revelation may be have emanated from the pressure being mounted on the governors by the northerners.

“Thank God, Babangida has revealed that there was a pact between the governors and Jonathan that they would support him in 2011 election on condition that he will only do one term.

It is now time for other northern governors to follow suit because there will be more pressure from northerners. They have to come together and listen to the voice of the people,” he added.

The is a typical example of a drowning man clutching @ a straw. 2015 will make or break Nigeria, quote me

Fools, murderers, undertakers are sounding so pathetic. After they were unable to achieve their aim with boko haram, now they thought that they can unify northerners against Jonathan. What will be the fate of Christians in their hypocritical unification? Will this hypocritical unification stop fulani herdsmen to take it easy with Gowon and his people? What gives northerners the hope to think that Nigeria will last beyond 2014 going by the rate they are killing the Igbos? So the Igbos will just sit back and watch them continue with this killing spray of their brothers in the so called one Nigeria?

Sing along;
Alo alo o, alo alo.

So there are fools who still believe the current BH is a creation of the north? Why would northerners create a monster that will destroy their region thus making it possible for the retardeen to rig the 2015 elections in the north? Do you people really think we're that dumb? GEJ is boko haram. And he'll be headed straight to jail in 2015.

You are mentally sick and unstable because your brain's composition have been identified to be KUNU. Are you not ashamed that Jonathan found fools in the north to be used to destroy north? If MASSOB becomes a violent organization tomorrow, southeast people will blame a northern president as the creator of MASSOB. Please who created fulani herdsmen that is killing people in jos and it's environs? Was is Jonathan or CIA? northerners are so dumb that they can be used for any purpose. Please who is Sherrif, Ndume, Ningi, Shetima. Please who are those that promised to make Nigeria ungovernable for Jonathan, i mean those who promised to unleash hell if Jonathan becomes the president of Nigeria, people like Atiku, Adamu Ciroma, Lawal Keita. Are all these people from another planet or from northern Nigeria?

Can Fulani a unified North allow a Northern Christian, a man from Benue or Plateau to rule?

I wonder why northerners reason like animals, they always give funny and laughable reasons to cover up their evil, wickedness and boko haram.
Sanusi = Boko haram is as a result of revenue sharing formula.
Sultan = Boko haram are not muslims.
Sultan = Boko haram are not Northerners.
Sultan = Boko haram is caused by the level of poverty in northern Nigeria.
Sheik = Boko haram is fighting injustice.
Ahmed = Boko haram is a creation of CIA to divide Nigeria.
MORONS IN NIARALAND = Boko haram is Jonathan.
Fools = Boko haram is PDP.
When you see all these reasoning, one thing is certain, the inability of northerners to accept the truth as it is.
Northerners are the worst thing that have ever happened to the rest of us called Nigerians. For the past 40 years, the unnecessary killings in northern Nigeria have continued without an end in sight. I am sure if a northerner becomes the president of this country, He will legalize the unnecessary killings in northern Nigeria.

Not again....

if the so call nothner claims to be just and not anti-christianity, i here by challange them to present a credible nothern christian for president and see if the south and west will not vote for the person

Simple questions: is it today northern muslim started killing christians? So after killing all the xtians you now want to unite? "Mohammed Yusuf is not solely responsiblefor all the bombings that have been taking place." why did they take laws into their hands by killing innocent people in the 1st place? why must north rule nigeria by 2015 again? if boko haram is gej's govt plan, why dont u guys fish them out,since they live among u?

nabiz: if the so call nothner claims to be just and not anti-christianity, i here by challange them to present a credible nothern christian for president and see if the south and west will not vote for the person

GBAM!

Another Northerner who was fed with unpasteurised cow milk. Unified North wen ur Emirs and Sultan are walking Bulls eye. Same fccuks that set the country back for over 40yrs and stole the country blind yet their place is far from being habitable. These nomads are a just a cancer to Nigeria.

[b]Because the extreme form of the religion they practice encourages it. They are doing it in Somalia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and a good number of other Muslim countries. Only fools would believe otherwise.

Now the big question for you is: Why would northerners be asking Amnesty for Boko Haram when they believe it is a creation of some fifth columnists?? If you grant the amnesty, since the purpose as you claim is to destroy the region, how on earth is amnesty going to stop the destroyers?? You guys seriously are living in absolute denial. The earlier you face realities the better it is.

Instead of waiting for a northern president to fix the north, why not tell your governors to fix thier states.

In the south, it is state Governors Like Akpabio, Oshiomole, Fashola, Chime, Okorocha and the likes that are transforming their states. Having the Presidency hasnt improved the fortunes of Bayelsa state at all. Why cant Northern Governors perform?

Why cant dis thread hit d front page? Is it because it doesnt av much anti-GEJ posts? **sighs** Seun & his Mods are biased 2wards GEJ.....SMH

the above names are well respected northerners.I just wish they know the effect of this bombing to their soil and unborn children. Without bomb they behave like animals and now chemicals are missed with the brain as a result of bombing,I wonder and serious pray for disintegration then because enough mentally unstable people will fill the north.
