The Coalition of Northern Groups (CNG) has cautioned Rivers state governor, Nyesom Wike that he cannot use his uncut language to stop presidential aspirants from the North, who are gunning for the ticket of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) or any other political party from doing so.
Its spokesperson, Abdullaziz Suleiman in a statement on Wednesday, said as the representatives of various interest groups from Northern Nigeria, the CNG, is no longer disposed to watching with restraint, to the point of condoning and accommodating such unreasonable and unacceptable conduct, perpetrated against northern interests by the Wikes and their lackeys, declaring that no amount of blackmail, intimidation, brigandage, gangsterism or rascality by
According Suleiman, Wike or any other person or group from whichever section of the country and in whichever party cannot stop the North from fielding and backing candidates for the presidency.
“We categorically warn that the plot to use Ortom’s zoning Committee to deprive the North the opportunity to field candidates for the election would not work, as nothing would stop northerners contesting the presidency in all the parties.
“We call the attention of Wike and the gang up against the North to realize and accept the reality that whatever zoning arrangement that might have existed in particularly the PDP, had been jettisoned, discredited, abandoned and utterly destroyed by their own selfish actions in 2011 and 2015.
“That in place of any rotation arrangement that has not and would never work, the North is rather focusing on the necessity of searching for an upright, physically healthy, mentally alert, knowledgeable, detribalized leader free of any moral encumbrances,” the statement reads.
