2023 Presidency: North Can’t Be Intimidated — ACF by Bobloco: 4:04am On May 06, 2022
•Says ‘enough of blackmail’


The Arewa Consultative Forum, ACF, has said gone were the days Northerners felt blackmailed and intimidated by threats of restructuring, secession, break up or break down of Nigeria.

The forum in a statement issued by the Secretary General, Murtala Aliyu, said the North had never been opposed to the election of any Nigerian as president, neither has it sought to dominate any part of the country.



It, however, said the north would not submit itself to be relegated to serfdom.


The statement, titled ”Enough of Blackmail, read: ”A long running political riddle that has continued to frustrate all efforts at achieving ‘justice, equity and fair-play’ is this: anything and every thing in which the North has superiority or advantage or strength is, in the opinion of many Southerners, fake or contrived or speculative and, therefore, unacceptable.



”These Southerners contest the facts that the North has 78% of the landmass of Nigeria. They refuse to accept that the North has over 55% of the population of Nigeria. They won’t concede that the voting population in the Northwest region of the North alone is bigger than those of the Southeast & South-south combined.

”They will never acknowledge the fact that all the beef, all the tomatoes, the onions, the beans, etc. consumed in the South, is produced in the North. They concede nothing.



”On the contrary, they say the North brings nothing to the table and is entitled to nothing. Not to an equitable share of national revenues, not to a fair share of employment in the public services or to admissions into public schools.

”If the law says, for example, that election outcomes must be based on one man one vote, they quickly dismiss it as an ‘imposition’ by Northerners. They contest every fact, every principle, including those that formed the basis of our union such as our federation, our system of administration, our7 democracy, etc.



”As we inch towards the 2023 elections, it comes as no surprise that some Southern politicians are giving their Northern counterparts an ultimatum which roughly translates thus: elect no one from the North as President or we will break up the country!

”But what are the facts? Nigeria’s Fourth Democratic Republic is about 22 years old. Of this, Northerners ruled for only ten years. But in-spite of this, some southern politicians are furious, issuing dare warnings against the election of any Northerner as president.

”It has to be stated clearly and for the avoidance of any doubt that the North is not and has never been opposed to the election of any Nigerian from any part of the country as President. Anything that will be done to achieve that, however, must accord with the law and democratic principles.

”Gone are the days Northerners felt blackmailed and intimidated by threats of re-structuring, secession, break up or break down of Nigeria. The North does not seek to dominate any part of the country but will not submit itself to be relegated to serfdom.

”Those issuing ultimatums are to be pitied, knowing that they know not what they are doing. They own no patent nor monopoly of the art or science of ultimatums. Enough of the blackmail.

Tomatoes and beef can even be gotten cheaper when imported.

Especially beef, imported beef is far cheaper.

Obasanjo could have handed over power to another Southerner, but for fairness sake, he handed over to a Northerner, look at how they are paying back the South now.

I hope stupid Southern Politicians are learning.

I've never seen cowards like most Southern Politicians.

When Jonathan was contesting against Buhari in 2015, some Northern Politician in the PDP even worked against Jonathan.

Obasanjo could have worked for and handed over to a Sorutherner in 2007, but for fairness sake he didn't do that. Now that is their turn to hand over power to the South, look at the stupid excuse they have been giving.

If we continue like this, Nigeria won't go far.

It will get to a point we will have to go our different ways. The South Generate majority of Nigeria revenue, we could fight to keep our revenue but we have not been doing so.

The North Should understand we no be Mumu for South.

No one is afraid of division or war.

Go and look at how a country like Switzerland is run, they run their country through fairness and no ethnic group feel left behind, that's why the country is prospering and peaceful.

Atiku and NEF that were screaming is the turn of the North in 2010/2011 have suddenly forgotten nah turn by turn. There is an unwritten agreement that power will be rotated between the North and South.

The South does not need One Nigeria neither do the South need the North. The country is not even prospering.

If the likes of Atiku feel is their right to rule, they will rule their part of the country for as long as they want when Nigeria falls apart.

Bro u are very correct. Southern politicians always do work against themselves. They've been torn apart tribally and blinded by greed. For instance BAT would rather want a northerner rule again instead Amaechi should Amaechi emerge APC flag bearer. That's how wicked they could be

ACF should rather channels their open letter to the president who is in position to end incessant killing and kidnapping by Boko haram and bandits in their region.

Their immediately concern should be how to end insecurity in their region, but hell no, they wont do that.

Their elites know better, with the present insecurity in the north, there is no way they will survive withiout the southern resources. If Nigeria break up today, what happened in Afghanistan would be a child play compare to what will happen to the Notherners.
