Northerners Not Jonathan are the problems of the North - Ex-Jigawa Governor.

**Northerners are the problems of the region, as their leaders are concerned about their personal and families’ interest and not that of the common man.

The former Jigawa State governor, Senator Ibrahim Saminu Turaki, has said that the President Goodluck Jonathan administration has never in any way worked against the northern part of the country, but rather accused northerners for being responsible for the worse situation of the region.
The former governor made the declaration over the weekend while fielding questions by newsmen shortly after launching a political movement in the state he tagged: “Saminya biyayya,” that would usher in the next governor by 2015.

Launching the movement before a mammoth crowd that converged on Bandawa farm in Kazaure Local Government Area of the state, Turaki said northerners were the problems of the region where the majority were concerned about their personal and families’ interest and not that of the common man and the region.

He said, Goodluck Jonathan is not anti-north. The northerners are the ones working against themselves and the region. Most of the time, a northerner is working against another, they are always fighting themselves The governors are always kicking against the programmes and policies of their predecessors by constituting committees of enquiry to probe the leaders before them.
“Is the president doing that? Is he asking them to do so? Why put the blame on him?”

Commenting on the political movement, he said “it is purely an association of my loyal friends,” adding that he had staged a come-back to take over the leadership of his people.

He noted that it was wrong for some people to view the incumbent Governor Sule Lamido as the leader of the PDP in the state when “over 80 per cent of the cabinet members are my associates.”
“Ahmed, his deputy, was my Commissioner for Finance down to other political appointees that served under me. I made them what they are, and they visit and consult with me everyday so who am I fighting, myself?”

Turaki, who refused to declare which political party his movement is anchored, said it was immaterial to do so. - Hope For Nigeria.
