The Northern Elders’ Forum, NEF, Monday declared that the North would not support President Goodluck Jonathan in the 2015 presidential election.
“My part of the North will not support him (Jonathan). The South owe us a moral debt and they should pay. They seem to be forgetting the moral debt they owe us. There is nothing personal against the person of President Goodluck Jonathan. There is something wrong with the system that threw him up against equity and justice.”
The spokesman for the group, Prof. Ango Abdullahi, stated this in an interview with Punch while reacting to a statement by the Chairman of the Northern Governors’ Forum, Babangida Aliyu.
Aliyu, had in Minna on Sunday, said North would negotiate with candidates contesting the 2015 presidential election. He denied saying only a northerner should emerge as President in 2015.
But the NEF spokesman said that people should have the courage to acknowledge equity and justice. Prof. Ango Abdullahi stated, “The Northern Elders Forum has no political party. This is something that you should remember. The various northern groups including the ACF (Arewa Consultative Forum) have no political party.
“What we have are political interests and it is on these political interests that we are going to direct our energies. At the moment our political interest, based on equity and justice rests with the North.
“When I say we will not support him, it is not because he is Jonathan or that he is Ijaw. What we are saying is that we will look at the issues at stake and throw our weight where there will be equity.”
