The statement credited to General Muhammadu Buhari that there would be bloodshed if the 2015 elections are rigged is drawing condemnation from key Northern voices.

The Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF), the pan-Northern group, has asked the former presidential candidate of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) to stop making “inflammatory statements”.

[b]Although it did not mention Buhari by name, the Northern States Governors’ Forum (NSGF) also Thursday warned “prominent Nigerians” against statements that are capable of inflicting injury on the nation.

The NSGF, which rose from its one-day meeting in Kaduna, said it took exception to what it called inciting statements “capable of destroying the nation’s fragile unity and peace”.

The governors asked leaders to be concerned about the unity and development of the country rather than making statements that could further divide it.

In a communiqué at the end of the meeting, the governors restated their commitment to intensify efforts at finding lasting solutions to the security challenges facing the region.

The communiqué, which was read by the chairman of the forum and governor of Niger State, Dr. Muazu Babangida Aliyu, said efforts were also being made to revive the agricultural sector as well as address the lingering problems of the New Nigeria Newspaper.[/b]

AN earlier thread supporting the Punch story line ===========> 19-northern-governors-defend-buharis

New Nigeria Newspaper?

Reviving a newspaper is a task for the 19 northern governors? Surely that cannot be anywhere near the top of the priority list.

Man. This would be funny if it weren't so sad and pathetic.

The Nigerian press is for sale. Anyways, I read that there's quite a high level investigation and tapes (audio and video) have been called in. The truth will come one way or the other.

Quite messy and embarrassing i must admit . . .
