2015: NAME BRIBED NORTHERN POLITICIANS, PRESIDENCY CHALLENGES ALIYU

The factional Chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum, who is also the Governor of Plateau State, Mr. Jonah Jang, has described Niger State Governor, Aliyu Babangida as number one on the list of betrayals from the North, saying the governor had betrayed him as well.
Jang, who stated this in a statement signed by the Media Officer of his faction of the NGF, Mr. Kassim Yakubu was reacting to Aliyu’s allegations that 400 leaders from the North had been bribed to support President Goodluck Jonathan’s re-election bid in 2015. But Jang said that if there were betrayals from the North, Aliyu would be the first person on the list of those that would betray the North.
Jang said that he (Aliyu) reneged on the agreement by the northern governors that he (Jang) should be their consensus candidate for the NGF chairmanship election, but regretted that Aliyu and others reneged on the agreement.
Jang said in the statement, “Maybe Governor Aliyu and his group do not see me as a Northern and perhaps need to explain to us what makes you a northerner if they can so flagrantly disregard the collective decision.”
