The North has had nothing from the PDP except wholesale and retail tragedy, de-industrialisation, marginalisation and economic warfare as well as total destruction of the North-East, which is a very important part of the North itself.
As for me, I have never belonged to the PDP and I don’t believe in the zoning or rotation from the days of my political career from the NPN down to 1999. It would be much more appropriate to ask those opportunist governors, who believed, somehow, they can salvage the north or they can protect themselves and their ill-gotten wealth by belonging to the PDP about their plan ‘B’.
I also don’t believe it is the business of the other Nigerians to simply come to the aide of the North, because the north itself shot itself on the foot by going to vote for the PDP. Now, the North is learning the hard way. You do not to go into agreement with dishonourable people. Because, such an agreement will always boomerang because democracy is first of all, a game of number. It is those who have the number that will always carry th day.
If the North is willing and ready to talk to other Nigerians, fine, but we must know that democracy system is not built this way and you don’t embark on nation building this way, because everything now is built on lies, on opportunism, on you chop, I chop basis. Now that it is has collapsed, they can go back to the drawing board and start afresh and see whether we can begin to have elite, political, binding consensus, without which no nation can be built.
