Nigerian President, Goodluck Jonathan, has declared that some Northern leaders, now claiming to love the North and its people, are just selfish individuals pursuing their own agenda.
President Goodluck Jonathan The President, in his facebook message titled ‘In Defence Of Life, Liberty And Property’ , noted that when the North was recently plagued by series of human-made and natural disasters, Northern leaders who are now very vocal over the Abuja bomb blast remained silent and inactive. Jonathan was reacting to the attacks on him by some Northern leaders after the bomb blast on 1 October. The President reasoned that these Northern leaders specialise in playing one part of the country against the other and riding on sectional sentiments to promote their narrow ambitions. “To prove to you that their interests are personal and not for the people they claim to represent, you will notice that while this administration has spent considerable time and resources as well as focused attention on the recent floods in Sokoto, Zamfara, Kebbi and Jigawa states and the cholera epidemic in certain parts of Nigeria as well as the lead poisoning that has consumed 400 children in Zamfara State, these so called concerned people have not been known to address any of these issues or offer a word of succour to the victims. “This is irrefutable proof that their only focus is how to get power and not the wellbeing of the long suffering people of Nigeria whom I have sworn to Almighty God to protect. “At this critical time, we should be mourning the dead and praying for the families left behind. What they need at this sad hour is not politics but compassion and empathy,” Jonathan said. The president promised that the Federal Government will do everything possible to share in the pains of the bereaved and the injured. “We will give the best medical care possible to the injured. We recognise that nothing can compensate for the loss of a loved one. But we offer our shoulders to the bereaved in this moment of need.” —Simon Ateba

When will Nigerians realise they live in A PRISON WITHOUT BARS. The warders of these prison may change, but they are still under the command of the PRISON GOVERNOR. PRISONER'S VOTES DONT COUNT. they have no human rights and can be beaten on streets like dogs. This is the policy given to the Nigerian government(Prison warders) by the Isreali Illuminati(Prison Governor). You all know your votes dont count. Yarudua your ex president attested to this. What happened to him? Obasanjo has been in the government twice, both after the CIA had assassinated Nigerian presidents. Is he CIA? Your call!!!
You think any leader got into that position by merit or by vote? This is same for almost all countries of the world including IRAN. The Iraninan leader acts like he is against George bush and USA, but secretly, they meet together in meetings to discuss their agendas. This is not just as seen on the surface of thinking am making accusations. Look back to Yasa Arafat, the Paletinian Libration Organization that fought against the Isreali occupation. I tell you to go and check it anywhere. Yasa Arafat was a zionist in leaque with the Isreali and British expansionist movements. They all are knights same with president Mugabe of Zimbabwe. i dont know when you guys will wake up. BUT i hope it is soon.

Mr Ajanni read this....It saddens and exasperates me that people like Ajanni and Adamu Ciroma who cannot point out a single Northerner whose life they have improved in spite of their many years in government can claim to speak for Northerners. If he doesn’t like the idea of Jonathan as president and keep his mouth shut, I suggest that he goes to exile in Afghanistan or Somalia until 2019 when Jonathan will handover to a new president.
