Former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Aliyu Modibbo, has said that the Northern part of Nigeria is not marginalized as alleged.

Modibbo made this statement on Friday while responding to questions in an interview on Trust TV.

He was reacting to the state of the Northern Nigeria.

What people have been peddling is that the North is marginalized. How ? When the ministers were appointed, each state gave its own nominee.

“There is no state that is represented twice by another state. Then the president have the prerogative right to add if he wants to.

But the North got its right going by what the constitution says that every state must have a minister in the Federal Executive Council, FEC.

“Coming back to allocation, is there any state in the North that has been denied its allocation ? Or is there any distribution or intervention done by the president that does not go to any Northern governor,” he asked.

SonOfZeus:
The north has been at the corridor of power since I can remember, what have they achieved with it? If it’s not Hisbah or whatever they call that Islamic tool, it’s insecurity, illiterates, beggars, paying bandits and other vices.

What will change if they were marginalized?

The north will keep taking us back to Stone Age until they are cut off.

Never see a region hell bent on causing destruction to the body of Nigeria

These northerners need to be given their own country abeg

Razzness:
The North has clearly been targeted and marginalized by this administration. From reluctance to handle insecurity to implementing measures that are crippling agriculture.

What is south? Stop deceiving yourself. There's nothing like south. Yorubas are on their own. Southern Nigeria only comes to play when election is near, but after election, it goes back to amala and ewedu politics.

Through proliferation of 20 states in the old Northern region by northern military dictators, the north takes home most of Nigeria's income and development projects.
