In the recent past, some northern leaders have reportedly held meetings to strategise on how to present a formidable northern consensus in the next presidential election, from within the ruling PDP.
This is to create a better chance to defeat President Goodluck Jonathan at the party's primary election should he decide to contest in 2015.
Governors who have their eyes on the position are Sule Lamido of Jigawa State, Babangida Aliyu of Niger State, Isa Yuguda of Bauchi State, Murtala Nyako of Adamawa State, Ibrahim Shema of Katsina State, Rabiu Kwankwaso of Kano State and Aliyu Wamakko of Sokoto State.
All the governors are of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party to which President Jonathan belongs. All of them are also in their second term in office.
Credible sources say the North is battle ready and will fight Jonathan to a stand still with its advantage in the area of population.
Also, there is the Atiku Abubakar factor to consider. The former vice president is getting closer to ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo by the day and many political watchers believe it's all a strategy to position himself for the job in 2015.
In the past one year, leaders of the North have met on different platforms, insisting on replacing President Jonathan with a northerner in 2015. But the President has said he would wait till 2014 before declaring his intention to contest or.

Those Northern governors should not come and spread their poverty on Nigerians. Jonathan is the best president so far improving electricity and other areas. He's going for second term!

Both GEJ and his fellow pdp lameducks without vision should fade out of our political scene for a vibrant and honest leader to emerge
ReplyDeleteTONY, When will pple like you and others like you stop decieving yourselves ? Where is the LIGHT ? Where were you and others when Obasanjo ruled for 8yrs was there no porverty in the land ?
ReplyDeleteIDIOT !
If GEJ performs well which I see as a mirage it is left for Nigerians to decide through their voting power if he will continue.
ReplyDeleteFor me, let Nigerians try another political party in 2015.
PDP will be 16 yrs old it ruled the nation without reasonable thing put on the ground, rather the masses are languishing in abject poverty.
PDP is not the only political party in nigeria.
What the people want is the party that has the political will to fight corruption.
For your information @Tony, there is no improvement in electricity supply in the country unless in Abuja if you are living there.
