Bauchi-The Northern Elders Forum (NEF) has asserted that any Nigerian who decides to vote for PDP in the 2015 elections could be seen as one of those conniving with the party to sell the rights of Northern Nigerian people.

To this end, the forum said the Northern People have lost confidence in the Northern Governors who in 2011 elections entered a secret deal with President Jonathan to contest that election without necessarily telling their constituencies about their unbecoming acts.

The Forum Secretary Professor Ango Abdullahi who stated this during an interview at his office in Bauchi said that the secret deal was later confirmed by President Goodluck Jonathan himself.

According to him, “the Northern Governors should be bold to tell President Jonathan that he has no right to contest election based on their earlier agreement reached for power rotation between the North and South parts of the country under the auspices of the PDP”

“It was only recently that the Governor of Niger State who is currently the Chairman of the Northern Governors Forum came out with the revelation that they had a secret deal with Jonathan to contest the 2011 elections”, .

“Common sense should have dictated to PDP that there would be four years to pay the North back from 2011 but as you have already seen, the Governors sold it out, they sold us and the North out”, He lamented.

Abdullahi wondered why the Niger State Governor  is still supporting the candidature of President Jonathan for 2015 , describing the action as mere sell-out of the Northern people.
