Former Governor of Niger State, Babangida Aliyu, has given reasons why Northern Governors opposed former President Goodluck Jonathan’s re-election bid in 2015.

He said it was because they felt the North would be disadvantaged if Jonathan returned to power.

Speaking in Minna on Friday, Aliyu claimed there had been an agreement that Jonathan would complete the remaining tenure of former President Musa Yar’adua’s tenure and contest the 2011 election as a sole candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).


He said Jonathan’s insistence on vying for a second term in 2015 was against the agreement the then northern Governors had with him.

“All the governors in the North under the PDP supported the then Vice President Goodluck Jonathan to complete the remaining years of Yar’Adua’s tenure and to contest the next presidential election as a sole candidate of our great party.

“However, midway, President Goodluck Jonathan insisted on running for the office in 2015 against the grain of our earlier agreement.


“Since this was against the grain of our earlier agreement in the party, and which we, the governors in the North felt the North would have been shortchanged if Jonathan had succeeded, we rose stoutly to insist on the agreement we all had.

“On that premise, we opposed Jonathan. But all along, Goodluck Jonathan had enjoyed every support from the governors in the north and the entire region.”

Now next level is bitting everybody hard.

I am grateful to God for you guys for voting Buhari who is performing very well in the area of security, economy, employment, education etc.

he don't even need them

Northerners always feeling that other regions are out to shortchange them despite having more states and gaining/controlling more than 70% of the country's allocation.

They like to stay in power and the annoying part of the whole thing is dat they don't contribute anything to the economy, resource-wise.

By right, Southerners should be d ones doing all ds gra gra, since dey own d resources that's feeding the northern elites fat.

Daz y d parasites keep clamouring for one nigeria cos dey know dey will all die without their host – the South.

SAI BABA
And terrorists may soon chase them out of their farms.

Thank God everybody is chewing the bitter kola your brother set before us.

We All Were in one good Pan, Before Change change us to Fry Pan, till Next Level To Fire.
