NORTHERN LEADERS -- ACT NOW, ADD VALUE OR QUIT.Bitrus Edward Gwadah writes:

This is a passionate plea to action.
To all stakeholders in the Nigerian project, all former heads of state of whatever description whether you attend the Council of State meetings or not, all northerners who are participants in this government, all those in position of authority either in the public or private sector, all politicians, all northern socio-cultural organizations and pressure groups, 
             

HEAR THIS:

It is possible that by the time you finish reading this short note, the Boko Haram has added another town to SHEK

                                      kano friday  mosque 
CALIPHATE.
That means, another town has been burnt down, communities have been uprooted, men, women and those most vulnerable -- children, have been slaughtered, rendered homeless, everything else you can imagine, would have happened.
In the mean time, life continues as usual for northern politicians who have been busy jostling for selective and elective positions, declaring their intentions to run for office, hanging smiling posters and ridiculous campaign statements all over town.!!
And yes, all this decimation of the north is taking place under the watch of the VICE PRESIDENT, THE NATIONAL 
                         

  Namadi Sambo(Nigerian vice president)

SECURITY ADVISER, THE MINISTER OF DEFENSE, THE MINISTER OF JUSTICE, THE CHIEF OF DEFENSE STAFF, all of them NORTHERNERS.

Add to the above, the list of northerners who are FORMER 

HEADS OF STATE, FORMER HEADS OF THE MILITARY AND FORMER HEADS OF THE JUDICIARY, etc.; from whom, with all respect, there is a deafening silence!!

ADD ALSO, MEMBERS OF THE NORTHERN GOVERNORS FORUM, WHO HAVE SINCE LOST THEIR INDIVIDUAL AND COLLECTIVE COURAGE, RESPONSIBILITY, WILL AND VOICE!!!THE NATIONAL AND STATE ASSEMBLIES..? Ha ha!!I am tempted to single out the AREWA CONSULTATIVE FORUM and the NORTHERN ELDERS FORUM, out of the immense respect we all have for their members and leadership, and in view of their recent successful outing at the national conference, and to marvel at their failure to at least raise the LEVEL OF CONCERN regarding the events in the NORTH EAST.

            Past Nigerian leaders from left: Buhari, Obasanjo, Abdulsalam, Babangida,       Gowon, Shagari, Shonekan and current President Jonathan                                                                                                     

SHOULD WE ALL BE COWED TO SILENCE?

As you contemplate your individual and collective role as part of the solution, I wish to call on ALL NORTHERN LEADERS, NORTHERN SOCIO-CULTURAL AND PRESSURE GROUPS to come together and in unison, demand answers to many questions, from THE GOVERNMENT OF THE FEDERATION:

1. The FEDERAL GOVERNMENT (FG) should stop playing politics with the security of the nation and the future of the NORTH.

2. The FG should let the nation and the whole world know the truth, either


A) that the FG/ MILITARY have NO CAPACITY TO DEFEND THE TERRITORIAL INTEGRITY OF NIGERIA or


B) that it has no interest in ensuring the safety and security of hapless northerners who are at the mercy of an insurgency.


3. What kind of advice does the NSA give to the FG? If his advice is ignored, what is he still doing in the post?


4. If all those northerners in the FG, from the Vice President, the NSA, the Minister of Defense, theChief of Defense Staff, the Minister of Justice, ETC, cannot add value to the lives of Nigerians in the North -- East in particular, THEY SHOULD ALL RESIGN.
THIS IS BECAUSE THEY OWE THEIR POSITIONS TO THE FACT THAT THEY ARE NORTHERNERS!!
Northerners should tell them to resign. We SHOULD NOT LOVE CEASAR MORE THAN ROME, because without Rome, there would be no Ceasar!!
IT IS TIME TO TAKE TO THE STREETS ALL OVER THE NORTH, AND ALL OVER NIGERIA, TO URGEUNITY IN CONFRONTING THE CHALLENGE IN THE NORTH-EAST, WHICH THREATENS THE VERYEXISTENCE OF THE NATION, or is that the real plan?
Let us not waste time on finding sponsors, for now, they have too much protection.


THERE WILL BE A POST MORTEM. UNITE NOW AGAINST A COMMON EVIL ...
WE ARE ALL VICTIMS
