A Northerner Must Emerge in 2015 Or Nigeria Will Divide- Lawal Kaita

Lawal Kaita, the close ally of former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, who famously promised in October 2010 that the North would make Nigeria ungovernable for President Jonathan if he won the 2011 election is again spitting fire.

This time around he is insisting that a Northerner must emerge by 2015 or there would be no Nigeria.

Kaita said “We hear rumours all over that Jonathan is planning to contest in 2015. Well, the north is going to be prepared if the country remains one.

That is, if the country remains one, we are going to fight for it. If not, everybody can go his way,” he said in an interview in Katsina. Lawal Kaita said the recent stand of the party on consensus was a total negation of the motive behind forming the party.
It may be recalled that Alhaji Lawal Kaita had said in October 2010 that "The North is determined, if that 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".

Kaita, founding member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and close ally of former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, had at that time warned that the North should not be blamed for the calamity that will befall the country, if Jonathan emerges President.

Now, if Nigerians had thought that Kaita was joking, his own principal, former vice president, Atiku Abubakar, had come out openly on the 14th of December 2010 to say " Let me again send another message to the leadership of our great country, especially the political leadership that those who make peaceful change impossible, make violent change inevitable.”

Kaita, who described the emergence of the Bamanga Tukur-led NWC of the party as a grand ploy by President Goodluck Jonathan to contest the 2015 presidential race, said the north would ensure he never succeeds.

He stated: “It is a disgrace that a party like PDP is running away from election. I am one of the G18 members who founded the PDP and we formed the party because of our firm belief in election. I have contested election five or six times. We believed in election, but now the whole thing has collapsed”.

“They are running away from election. This entire consensus thing doesn’t make sense. For us who formed the PDP, we regret what is happening now. Ten candidates, overnight, all stepping down for one person! All the candidates were renowned and each of them is capable of running the party, but they all withdrew…”

Kaita, who was a governor of the old Kaduna State, insisted that the just concluded national convention of the PDP was devoid of excitement, noting: “Tukur is a highly qualified person but the fact that he allowed himself to be used as Jonathan’s candidate is what has lowered his status.”

This man deserves to be arrested. He is also one of those that threatened to make the country ungovernable.

That will actually answer our prayer. GEJ should continue to a second term or hand over to an Igbo man so that these people can commit suicide like they've been doing with bokoharam. Buncha 1diots.

But come oo. Tell me the reason why this man should not be in jail for making such utterance.

dats ridiculous. wut nigeria really needs is a good leader who can deliver regardless of his tribe and/or religion. u can always get a northerner who is even worse dan his predicessors. hence we should strive n pray 4 good governance instead of attachin tribal setiments in our national leadership

afam4eva: That will actually answer our prayer. GEJ should continue to a second term or hand over to an Igbo man so that these people can commit suicide like they've been doing with bokoharam. Buncha 1diots.

My broda, the bolded is the part the we mere mortals cannot understand.

law of cart must hold them. AMEMMMM.

Lawal Kaita: "If you don't do what I say, I will reward you with chocolate"
ekt_bear: "Get ready to hand over the chocolate man"

Its ridiculous how certain people love power and when they get, they can't make anything useful
out of it. What is the end purpose of having power? Its to make life better. When you look at the
economic conditions in the North, its not it. They should revive their strategy and objective.
Power for the sake of having can never last.

What is wrong in his saying, I though Dokubo said the same, was he arrested ? No

Beaf:

My broda, the bolded is the part the we mere mortals cannot understand.

What is the difference between wat he said and what Dokubo said ? I am waiting

Yawn!!!

Exactly! Just look at what the Northern elite have done with 38 out of 51 years of power. Nigeria is a dump and the core-North is phucked with 10 million almajiri's.

The core-North desperately needs new leadership.

The fact that dokubo same the same thing does not make it right. They should both be in jail.

But Asari was not jailed but given more money so Lawal is not going to be jail. Yes they are both wrong but tic for tac as they say

ndu_chucks: Yawn!!!

No worries, we will help you pack and escort you to the border. This Kaita man is a nice cattle violator.

I agree. But its not the North only that needs it. This is a problem in many west African countries.
You have old folks such as this "Lawal Kaita" that incompetent but stick to power because they don't have
any other way to fatten their pockets. A change of the ruling class is a strong need.

He's just boasting,this is not 1966.
But if they somehow execute a secession without war, Lawal kaita will be one of my personal heroes even with all he did.

The core-Northern elite have held the keys to this country for donkey years now, and it is only a break from their current elite that will completely free the country up for development. It might not be easy for ordinary eyes to see, but they own every thing that moves in Nigeria; from oil (80% of indegenious oil wells) to the CBN.

As soon as this class is defeated, their lackies across the terrain will fall like ten-pin's. They are the key.

mumu, you can rephrase your question million times, aboki na aboki.

It is a done deal, no Northerner will emerge as president. Lets watch and see. All powers must be involved in this.

does the man kaita understand what the word treason means? i think the person asking him the questins wasn't asking the right ones,would have loved to hear the answers to the following questions:

1. if nigeria divides,whose interest would it be?
2. what is the economic value of the north?
3. would the agricultural & unarguably the educationally advanced northern states like kwara,kogi,benue,plateau accept to follow the larger north? and if not what will be the effects?
4. what is the total overhead cost of all the northern states in relation to revenue generated by the states without "oil" federal handouts?
5. how many jobs will be lost or gained if the country divides? and what will be the effect on the north?

Lawal kaita is an old fool like his other allies who believed nigeria is their personal pot of soup.

He needs to be reminded that this is 2012 not the 60s.

After GEJ in 2019, its igbo turn from there middle belt, from there pls ppl who next?

Like Asari,like Kaita.South 1 vs North 1.

Can anybody in the house educate me on the achievements of this Kaita when he was a governor. I am always baffled about how people desperately look for power when they can not show any proof of developing their constituencies during their previos tenures in office.

God bless u lawan kaita, we are ready for any thing.

North and its gra gra, they fail to understand that Naija has moved forward leaving them far behind. Core North can't afford to hold Naija hostage anymore, for we now know better.

ismhab: God bless u lawan kaita, we are ready for any thing.

... Nd u all will perish with everything!

God bless u lawan kaita, we are ready for any thing, we are Nigeria.

You miss Kaita's point. The clown is not directing his threat at the South, but at the international community (principally, the US and UK).
He is basically blackmailing them that they could see the possibility of an extremist republic which would be a direct threat to their interests.

The core-Northern elite have mastered the art of manipulating our old colonial masters for the benefit of a nickel and a dime.

The underlying threat is simply terror.

before no one dear talk about separation in nigeria, now is like talk of the day i dey laugh but wait oh,so kaita is not even sure if the country will still remain one b4 2015 but he is very sure that if jonathan wins again then the northern elites will use their foot soldiers to attack everybody in the street i don't get it because they are doing it already with boko haram okayyy boko haram tricks is not working for them again

That division he is talking about is long overdue.
