More groups from the North have continued to express their anger against the announcement by 11 Northern Governors in the All Progressives Congress, APC, that power should shift to the South and asking all Northern presidential aspirants to withdraw.

The recent reaction came from the Arewa Defendants Forum, ADF, which vowed to resist any attempt from any quarter to encroach on the right of a northerner to aspire for election to any position.

ADF in a statement by its Chairman, Hassan Rabiu Damau at the end of an emergency executive meeting in Kaduna, noted that the North is cursed with a set of selfish demagogues posing as state governors and the region’s leaders.

“The North is unfortunate today to be saddled with a set of affrighted, selfish, unreasonable fascist leaders in the form of state governors who would readily compromise the collective interest of the people of the North.

“The antics of these Northern traitors and judases that the Northern region is cursed with must strongly be resisted by especially the youth who stand to be the major and immediate casualties of their treacherous plots.

“Unfortunately all the 11 governors now attempting to jeopardise the collective future of the region happen to be those who have acquired the reputation of heading the worst administrations in the history of their respective states”, the Group said.

The Coalition of Northern Groups, an amalgamation of several organizations in the north had described the governors as betrayers who will be judged by posterity.
