MAY GOD BLESS THIS MAN.....ELDER STATESMAN AND CHAIRMAN OF THE NORTHERN ELDERS COUNCIL(NEC).....ALHAJI TANKO YAKASSA
“I don’t know what is happening. The Minister of Defence, Aliyu Gusau is a northerner; the National Security Adviser (NSA) is a northerner; the Inspector General of Police is a northerner; the Chief of Defence Staff is a northerner, and all Nigerian soldiers are under his orders.
“If all these people cannot address the problems, how would it be easy for the president to do it?.......GUARDIAN(TUESDAY DECEMBER 30/ 2014)
