Elder statesman and former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Mohammed Abba Gana, has dismissed assertions of a united northern opposition against President Goodluck Jonathan.
.
He said Prof. Ango Abdullahi and the Northern Elders Forum, NEF, do not speak for all northern elders.
.
Abba-Gana, a member of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Board of Trustees, BoT, said the North presently would need at least four years to search for a suitable presidential material that could unify the north, adding that after producing nine of the country's leaders, the North should give other sections a break.
.
Abba-Gana spoke as Senator Emmanuel Bwacha from Taraba State, also dissociated northern minorities from the clamour for power shift back to the north.
One thing I just know is that whatever the trouble is in the North right now must end once and for all before things get out of hand....
My own is we should wait for Jonathan to finish his tenure first before we start talking of replacements....That should be the case!
