Mohammed, who made the disclosure on Monday morning on Sunrise Daily, a breakfast programme on Channels Television, said he has sighted the document and that it was signed by the President, some governors and two deputy governors prior to the 2011 elections.
Niger State Governor, Dr. Aliyu Babangida, had in a radio programme in Kaduna some few weeks ago blown the whistle on the existence of the document while the Presidency debunked the claim, daring anyone in possession of such an agreement to release it to the public.
But Mohammed said he sighted the original document in the hands of trusted political confidants whom he had known for over 40 years.
He said: “I am persuaded to say that such an agreement exists and it was signed by some governors, and I think, two deputy governors at the time. I have sighted the document and I got to know this from people whom I have known from 40-50 years that the agreement exists.
“People are prepared to deny the existence of the paper because of our culture of double talk. We do not need a lower ranked aide of the President to deny it. As far as I am concerned, something of that magnitude should have been cleared by a very senior person at the highest possible level to clarify—someone at the Presidency. Dr. Doyin Okupe is my friend and he did the same thing for Obasanjo until he was fired.”
The public affairs analyst and former lawmaker, accused Jonathan of lacking the political will to reshuffle the cabinet because of the activities of powerful forces hanging around the corridors of power.
“There are clearly many powerful forces that are stopping the President from reshuffling the cabinet because there are two women ministers who think they cannot be removed from their posts.
“The discourse on the 2015 election is premature but it was started by Jonathan. All we’ve had from 2011 to date was slogan. Promises were made and they have not been kept. The promises have been kept aside. You have to blame the President on early talk of 2015 and he is unleashing his attack dogs on the nation.
“Nobody would believe the tale that the President would not run in 2015. The man is behind it and his body language says a lot. The body language indicates that he would be running. They have started preparing the war chest for 2015. They are pulling money for election through deliberate, half-hearted implementation of annual budgets. They leave no room for anybody to trust them and I, for one, do not trust them, ” Mohammed stated.
Asked to clarify which party he is associated with , Mohammed said: “I am not and will not be a member of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party because the party is fixated to the primordial sentiments of zoning and rotation.
“I don’t believe that I speak for the North because the leaders of the North who claim to speak for the region are not sincere. That is why they would enter into an agreement with people who cannot keep to the terms of that agreement. Tough luck to them!”
