Middle Beltans; Self imposed second Northerners (classism)
The northern political elitists are losing their proxy war for presidential power. The reason the Buharis, Ango Abudulahis, the Abubukas, the Mallams, the Babas dominated power in Nigeria was because they managed either by coercion, caprice or cajole, impressed on the Davids, the Chris, and the Franks of the north's central states that they too are Northerns but without any political stakes, the second class.
One could not help but wonder while the central states of plateau, Benue, Kogi, Taraba, Nasarawa would want to form political alliance with the Babas who neither allow them to freely worship the God of their faith nor build their places of worships in the states in the far north. One would not help but ask, why the Idoma people living close to the South East and with much similarities in name, features, culture, language and phonetic to the South east, allies politically with Alhajis as against with the Okoros.
