Governors from the northern part of Nigeria who are favorably disposed to President Goodluck Jonathan's re-election bid are allegedly getting death threats.
A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP who spoke anonymously said, "There is a serious change in the political mood in the North since Buhari was elected as the APC candidate last week. Right now, the people do not care whether they are in APC or PDP. All they are interested in is that power must return to the North through the election of the former Head of State”, a northern governor supportive of Jonathan’s presidential bid told Sunday Vanguard, yesterday.
"What is really worrying those of us who are perceived to be pro-Jonathan’s governors or supporters is the open threat messages being made directly to our phones''.
Most of the death threats were reportedly sent by radical northern leaders including a federal lawmaker.
