By Dayo Benson LAGOS—VICE President Namadi Sambo, said, Sunday, that Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, governors and majority of Northerners were united in their support for President Goodluck Jonathan 2011 presidential ambition. The Vice President spoke against the background of reported division within the rank of governors, some of whom are said to be romancing other presidential aspirants. He said that those in the North who were opposed to President Jonathan contesting the 2011 presidential elections were those who are pursuing their personal interest. Sambo who spoke with journalists in Abuja, said all PDP governors, in the South-South, South-East and their Northern counterparts were being carried along in the Jonathan- Sambo ticket. He said: “The Northern Governors, and in fact all the Governors of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, are being carried along and we have good relationship, we are moving this country together. And the position of all the sections or the zones of this country have been made very clear. “The governors of the South-South have made their statement, the governors from the Northern states have made their statement; members of the Nigerian Governors Forum have also made their statement. These statements are all in line with our position. So we are all together.” Speaking on when President Jonathan would formally declare his ambition, the Vice President said: “Very soon, there is no specific date yet but it will be very soon. You know the Ramadan period is a holy month and you know it is not the best period to go into all those kinds of activities. Already there is a statement from the presidency.” Commenting on the position of the North that power must remain in the region come 2011, he said: “Am I not part of the power? I think I am from the North and as the Vice-President, I have confidence that whatever a President from the North will do, I am in the best position to do it for the North. And today we are fifty years old, the party has made it clear that the issue of its candidature will be in line with the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, and zoning is still an existing factor, it is part of the PDP constitution. “We have gone up, we are just going to celebrate our 50th anniversary. And at the age of 50, we expect any state to have grown. This country (Nigeria) has come a long way and, therefore, the issues that have to do with our development, of effecting programmes of government that will rejuvenate the country and create a better standard of living for Nigerians are what we are looking for.” The Vice President who was the former governor of Kaduna State debunked insinuation that he was losing grip of events in the state, noting: “I have not heard of that really and in practice I have not seen anything like that. In fact, just before you came in I received a group of political friends from Kaduna and they said the government is doing everything in line with the programmes we have put in place together in Kaduna and all these politicians are from Kaduna . We are even getting stronger and strengthening all issues with politics in Kaduna State.” |

Rabiu, great the man has credentials:-A Phd holder, work experience in the civil service & university, as Deputy Governor, as Governor, as vice president, as Acting President; the first of its kind in this country and presently the President. Please investigate all these areas and you will be convince based on excellent records of good service to humanity. Presently, Petrol stations now beg for motorists to patronize them and no ques. I stay in the north which is extremely hot and i now use fan or Air condition throughout the night courtesy of PHCN. Peace has return to many areas in this country etc. Above all he is not sectional in terms of religion, ethnic or region. So what do you expect from a leader?. He is just the right man God has send to salvage Nigeria.
Any time a Northerner makes a comment,it is always laced with useless sentiments.Our present predicament is caused by the Northerner who were crafty enough to get to top positions.Just look of the state of affairs in the North and compare it to what obtains in the South and you will see why many people believe that the North should just forget the presidency,at least for now.Rabiu,stark naked poverty is staring your people in the face and you are talking of credentials.What credential do you need because since President Johnathan came in,a lot of improvements have been taking place in our country.Perhaps you dont know the importance of the Petroleum bill he signed a few weeks ago or the steady supply of fuel and better electricity supply etc etc.In your head,it should be Buhari,Mr.Sharia supporter or even Shagari who has a lot of experience in being a cripple president who never did ONE thing right throughout his tenure.Anyway,we all can see that Sambo and Goodluck are a perfect team and it is difficult to see who else has the requisite leadership these two have exhibited.Ibb is an out and out criminal just like Atiku.Buhari supported Sharia law and he is a man who still habors that Arewa mentality.I wish you luck while hoping that your education ,as you claim,will set you free.

Mr Fedelis just hear yourself are your factual or sentimental because i said the President has no proven credentials why dont you conveince me if i am right or wrong rather than just shouting, i for one is nobody and looking for nothing but the true situation of things on ground, i am very passionate about this country thats why i am talking if not lets wait and see. If he had been more focused on work and has started bringing results it would have been a proper candidate for the post. but he has been sizing people to see if the ground will be good or not, remember we the educated and priviledge are just a small fraction of the countries population who unless rigged will vote for performance and credentials rather than sentiments or opportunity. time will certainly tell
Fidelis Daboer said:Anybody making noise against Goodluck Jonathan's ambition from the North is doing so to attract unnecessary attention believing that by so doing so, he shall be call for an appointment. Lie. Let them make those empty noise, we are behind you and Sambo. The future is very clear, not bumpy and not even dusty, but very smooth. God has a purpose for this choice. Oh, for the very first time Nigeria and Nigerians are now focused. God may your name be praise forever and ever, Amen.

i feel, all being said from the north are based on tribalism, sentiments and pride or fear of the unknown.please Nigeria need people who will take them to greater height, give us peace, and build our nation. Bashir and Rabiu have you gone to other smaller countries of west Africa eg Ghana etc and see the level growth. Bashir u show immaturity by being abusive and lack of knowledge just the way u people kill innocent souls for the sake of religion.
We need good governace and God brougbt these two to do the Job and he will surely show them the light. irrespective of what u or any one feels.
