Jonathan Has Failed in Securing Nigeria so Power Must Return to North- Says some people now in 2014, But in 2010 some people said " We will make Jonathan's Nigerian Government ungovernable , So who is Fooling who?
Northern leaders, including former Head of State, Abdulsalami Abubakar, former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, former Governor Ibrahim Shekarau of Kano State and former FCT minister, Senator Adamu Aliero, met in Kaduna yesterday (Friday the 7th of December) and declared that the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan had failed in securing the country going by the violent waves of insecurity occasioned by the Islamic terrorist sect, Boko Haram, and as such passed a vote of no confidence on the administration and resolved to work for power to shift to the North in 2015.
This was contained in a communique released after the meeting. In the communique read by Atiku loyalist, Dr. Usman Bugaje, the Northern leaders said “The weakening nature and perhaps the failure of the Nigerian State to protect lives and property as well as its inability to provide basic social services and guarantee freedom and rights of citizens cumulatively accounts for the current state of siege in which the North now find itself.
“The systematic erosion of cherished values of honesty, tolerance and integrity that were once the hallmark of public service in the North have resulted in bad governance, disregard for the rule of law and general decadence.
“Social indicators and statistics for all human development perspectives show the dismal crises in education, health, water and sanitation services thereby placing the region far below its counterparts in the country
“The general conduct of the Joint Task Force and how the fundamental rights of the citizens of the North are being violated in clear breach of the rules of engagement. It is expected that the JTF will strictly abide by the professional terms of engagement in the interest of peace.”
“All the disparate groups working in different directions, but all with the aim of promoting northern interests within a greater Nigeria under one platform,” they said, pledging to create a strong and united platform that would address the current security crisis and the politics of the North."
“Economic growth and development, commerce and trade in formal and informal sectors of the Northern states are being stifled with multiplier effects on the larger national and African sub-regional economies,”

"Quote me, if Jonathan insists on running, there will be bloodshed and those who feel short-changed may take the warpath and the country may not be the same again.
His running will amount to taking about 85 million northerners for a ride and that is half of the country’s total population. So, there will be bloodshed" - Junaid Mohammed
