Jonathan and Northern elders

IT is not news when we read and hear of the continuous threat and drum of war by the Northern Elders Forum over the 2015 elections. It is not equally news when the consistent and unabated criticisms of this regime by Dr. Paul Unongo and Prof. Ango Abdullahi over everlasting hold on to power by the North. Must these two egg heads be in power forever or must any government that doesn’t favour them go on extinction? This writer is not a beneficiary of the government because he is a Ph.D holder without a commensurate job. He is working with a first degree but must we threaten President Jonathan every day? My respectable elder statesmen, what did you contribute to the upliftment of the youths and your states when you were in power? This country needs patriots, bridge builders and nationalists and not ethnic bigots, jingoists and apologists but promoters of national unity and cohesion. Let 2015 decide for itself but how many times have the elites queue up for hours to register, verify their voter cards and then vote? Time will tell and decide. On democracy we stand and no inciting statements can change the youths now. No reasonable youth is ready to fight for elections now when their children are in abroad wasting our common wealth.
