A group of northern leaders under the aegis of The Southern and Middle – Belt Alliance (SaMBA), has described the purported endorsement of the presidential candidate of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, by former Speaker of House Representative, Yakubu Dogara group as self serving.
In a statement released today which a copy was made available to News Band, SAMBA said the Northern Leaders Consultative Forum (NLCF) is on a self serving and selfish mission.
The statement signed by SaMBA Spokesman, Prince Rwang Pam Jnr in response to the reported endorsement of Atiku Abubakar by “a toothless platform” said that the group was manipulated by some politicians who had benefited and still benefiting from the old order from the presidential candidate of PDP.
The middle belt group wondered how millions of Middlebelt and northern Christian voters benefitted from Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, who in recent history deleted his tweet condemning the killing of Deborah Samuel in Sokoto by alleged Islamic extremist.
SAMBA noted that the former Vice president is yet to condole with the affected family, six months after.
The statement reads, “Our attention have been drawn to the purported endorsement of the Presidential candidate of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar by a toothless Northern Leaders Consultative Forum (NLCF), coordinated by former Speaker of House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, who by this action has lost favour amongst his MiddleBelt family.”
