"Northern elders’ battle line on 2015"
"In what appears to be a response to the threat by ex-Niger Delta militant leader, Alhaji Muhajid Asari-Dokubo, that there will be no peace in Nigeria if President Goodluck Jonathan is not returned to power in 2015, the Northern Elders Forum (NEF) recently announced its resolve that the presidency must return to the North in 2015. At the end of a meeting with Borno State elders at which its chairman, Mallam Maitama Sule, was represented by the former vice chancellor of Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), Zaria, Prof. Ango Abdullahi, the forum warned governors in the zone to cue behind the power-for-North struggle, or see themselves as anti-North." (sun newspaper 5/19/13).
Would Malam maitama sule, and Alhaji Ango abdullahi, Alhaji Alhaji support a Mr. Francis Bali from Plateau State or a Mr.Mark from Benue State as a northern consensus in 2015?
If the Maitamas the Ango Abdullahis will field a northern Christian Minority as their presidential candidate for the 2015 election then they would have truly demonstrated that when the say north they do not mean the Muslim majority. The northern minority ought to find out if the Muslim majority invokes northern candidate just to gain the support of the minority, when the Majority would never field a minority for the presidential ticket. To find out is very easy and that is let the majority field and support a northern minority come 2015, I guarantee a northern minority candidate will receive more vote in the south than the Muslim majority candidate of northern extraction
