Opinion: How Buhari favouring North against South

Editor’s note: Some Nigerians accused President Muhammadu Buhari of northern agenda in his appointments and policies. However, the president dismissed insinuations that he was implementing a northern agenda.

Ena Ofugara of the Scannews lists 7 points:

President Muhammadu Buhari, Nigeria’s number one citizen
It was supposed to be easy for Buhari’s Northern power bloc. The northern domination agenda was about to be fully unleashed on the country called Nigeria. The Ijaw man has been removed from Aso Rock and the Yoruba-Tinubu power cabal curtailed.

The years of planning are over. It’s now time to execute and return the North to its pride of place and make ‘Alhaji’ and everything northern Nigerian ‘king’ again. Yes! The Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan years and the progress of Southerners must be reversed and the northernization policy of Ahmadu Bello is reborn.




1. De-commission Boko Haram. Stop the killings in the north-east. Grant Boko Haram members amnesty.

2. Run over to the World Bank and obtain a loan of $2.1 billion to develop the north-east.

3. Acquire, by executive fiat, for the Fulani grazing land all over the nation.

4. Begun wholesale appointments of Northerners in all positions.

5. Secretly employ Northern youths in the Central Bank of Nigeria, Federal Inland Revenue Service, immigrations, police, military, and so many other agencies.

6. Stop the presidential amnesty payments to ex-militants and stop payments to the people through the pipeline protection contracts. Use disgruntled militants in the Niger Delta to implicate Tompolo in one thing or the other.

7. Capture Nnamdi Kanu and jail him without trial. It doesn’t matter what the courts say, keep him locked up. It is not as if the Nnamdi Kanu has an army to fight the nation.

And so, while they think that, finally, Jonathan is out and they can “take back their country”, a few are already finding out that we are better off when we are all better off.
