The Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) has declared that Northerners must be counted out of an alleged plot to bribe prominent Northerners in order to weaken opposition to President Goodluck Jonathan’s bid for re-election in 2015.

The ACF stated that it had widely consulted prominent Northern political figures, adding that they all denied being part of scheme to accept cash from Mr. Jonathan in order to back his 2015 presidential re-election bid.

In a statement sent to SaharaReporters and signed by its chairman, Aliko Mohammed, the ACF said: “The attention of the Arewa Consultative Forum, ACF, has been drawn to stories circulating in the media lately suggesting that some people said to be working for the Presidency are going about with a long list of names of Northern leaders they wish to induce in order that they will support the President’s re-election in 2015. The so-called list which we have seen does indeed contain names of some of the most respected people in Northern Nigeria.”

But the Forum absolved the Northerners on the list. “We have however made enquires within the government and have spoken with many of the people whose names are on the list and they confirmed to us that they know nothing whatsoever about it. No one has met them nor are they are interested in meeting any one on the issue,” the group stated.

The ACF continued: “Those seeking or advising the President to offer inducement in exchange for support are clearly taking the matter of the President’s re-election away from performance in office to something else. If that is the case, they will be well advised to leave Northern leaders out of it.”

. Dem think say 2015 na Anambra election

Jonathan really has money to throw around just to win the presidency in 2015. We aren't talking of millions but billions of naira. He should know that the northerners are the worst people you can give bribe and expect something good in return. It won't be easy like he did to the Southeast.

Is very pathetic brother!

This story has being circulating here in the north•• Maybe the r jst speculations or maybe is true• Two ways, jonathan can't hav his way in the north again. All the ss/sw/se folks shd vote for him again in 2015 for all I care. We ll still be in desame hot soup with dem if he eventually rigs the election successfully. Who knows, ours might even be easier than theirs•

Did he bribe d north to emerge in 2011?

GEJ thinks northerners are like Igbos that he can buy off with money. The President is ready to shell out trillions so that they can help him rig the 2015 elections. This is why he has been amassing trillions of naira with the help and support of Diezani.
However, GEJ's actions and utterances ever since his election in 2011 has seriously wounded the pride of the north. He claimed that it was the igbos that voted for him in the north when he and everyone else knew it was the northern elites who he bribed with billions in 2011 that got him the 25% he desperately needed. No matter how much he gives as bribe to the northern elite, they will be only too keen to show GEJ that the 25% he got in 17 of 20 northern states in 2011 was not from the igbos.
In addition, PEJ was quoted about 6 months ago in PH thanking traditional rulers in the state for helping to defeat the 'northerners' in 2011. The North will only be so happy to show PEJ that it was their own doing that allowed GEJ to win elections and not some obscure traditional rulers in PH.
Another fatal mistake made by GEJ is marginalising the north and muslims completely in his administration. He presided over the killing of Gen. Mamman Shuwa, the attempted killing of Ado Bayero and other prominent northern personalities. If GEJ thinks for a second that the North believes it was the work of Boko Haram then he must be S.T.U.P.I.D.E.R than he looks. As a matter of fact the north knows very well that GEJ's invisible hand is all over the protracted Boko Haram crisis in Borno and Yobe. There is also the problem of Marginalization of Muslims in recruitment into Nigerian security apparatuses. It is all too clear that GEJ has an agenda and the north can no longer fold its hands and watch as GEJ systematically destroys the north.
Consequently, no one in the north believes the spate of bombing attacks that bedevilled the north that died down after the death of Gen. Azazi was simply a coincidence.
The truth is GEJ has united the north to stand firmly against his reelection plans because quite frankly it is a do or die affair for the north. The north simply can't survive 4 more years of GEJ. GEJ is desperate to destroy the north politically, economically, socially and militarily as his all too obvious ploys and schemes have shown. For the north, fighting against GEJ is but a matter of survival. Nothing unites a people more than the threat of extinction. GEJ is that threat. The people of the north will sing with one voice in 2015: 'Down with GEJ'.
