The warning
precluding President Jonathan from
contesting the 2011 presidential election
did not stop with Shehu Sani as Alhaji
Lawal Kaita, a close associate of former
Vice President Atiku Abubakar added his
voice to the agitation when he said, “The
North is determined, if it happens, to
make the country ungovernable for
President Jonathan or any other
Southerner who finds his way to the
seat of power on the platform of the PDP
against the principle of the party’s
zoning policy. Anything short of a
Northerner president is tantamount to
stealing our presidency. Jonathan has
to go and he will go. Even if he uses
incumbency power to get his nomination
on the platform of the PDP, he would be
frustrated out”. With these words, the
battle line between President Jonathan
and his opponents was drawn.
