A prominent member of the Northern Elders Forum, Professor Ango Abdullahi, says Senate President David Mark has betrayed the trust bestowed on him as one of the leaders from the North because of his “inflammatory statements” that blamed northern leaders for not doing anything to stop Boko Haram insurgency in the region. Reacting to Mark’s remarks in Bauchi yesterday, Professor Abdullahi said Mark is number three citizen in the country; and number two citizen in the North after Vice-President Muhammad Namadi Sambo, saying the statement credited to him showed that he removed himself from the category of northern leaders “even though we considered him one of our own”. “If he has excluded himself from being a leader or elder, then I think he is quite right to say that others who are regarded as elders or leaders should be queried for some of the things that are going on”, he said. The former vice chancellor of Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, also said he could not remember any meeting Senator David Mark convened in his responsibility as a Senate leader, northern leader/ elder inviting other colleagues considered to be peers to discuss problems challenging the country or the North.

@ winance,who is boko haram??these are the people who wants us to beleive that mr president is weak and inactive,if only some leaders who support the  boko haram sect will join hands with the president to stop this mess...how will they do that when tribalism has eaten up their brains...from what prof ango was saying he is tribalic if not he wont think of exlucding some people making beleive that some people are their brothers while others are not.
David mark have said it all...but i think if we can stop tribalism in nigeria and start seeing one another as one people we will have a better country to live in.
