President Goodluck Jonathan has denied loathing the
Northern part of Nigeria, saying that people claiming that
he dislikes the region, are nothing but liars.
The President, in defence of his love for the region, listed
out the achievements of his administration in the
educational and agricultural sectors.
While speaking in the PDP’s campaign rally in Sokoto
State on Monday, January 19, Jonathan said his
administration had achieved more for the North than any
other administration led by former Presidents of Nigeria.
“When I came on board as president, I established 14 new
universities, four were built in the South while 10 were
built in the North, yet they keep telling you I hate the
North. If truly I hate the North and I do not want the
children from the North to be like me, will I take such
action?” the President asked.
“Federal Government has no business with basic primary
education because they are functions of the state
government, but I took it upon myself to build Almajiri
schools here because we realised there is a higher
percentage of children out of school in the North than in
the South. So we intervened massively. Is that hating the
North?”
Stating further, he said: “In the area of agriculture, tell me
of any government that has supported the North with
several agricultural equipment and with billions in cash
loans. Is that hating the North? If I don’t like the North,
will they benefit up to 70 per cent of agricultural reforms
we are doing?”
“Those who say I do not like the North were also
presidents in the past, but what did they do for the North?
How many schools or universities did they build in the
North and what did they do to ameliorate the problems in
the agricultural sector?” the president added.
