Northerners In Tinubu’s Govt Reduced To Choristers – Salihu Lukman by nlfpmod: 3:22pm On Jul 01
A former National Vice Chairman, North-west of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Salihu Lukman, has berated Northern politicians in the President Bola Tinubu-led administration.

Lukman, who recently resigned from APC, said politicians from the north have been reduced to members of a “choir group poorly singing ‘on your mandate we stand’ irrespective of the shaky and staggering reality being demonstrated by the mandate holder.”

He said the opportunity for Northern political leaders to redeem themselves and return the North back to rational order with committed leaders capable of responding to the challenges of the region was blown away during the tenure of ex-President Muhammadu Buhari.

In a statement he personally signed, titled, ‘Explosive North: Open Letter to Northern Politicians’, he said political leaders in the country must be cautioned that things were about to get out of hand any moment from now especially in the North and if care is not taken, hungry people who are everywhere in the region will start breaking into homes and looting properties of innocent citizens.

The statement said: “So far, one year has pass into President Asiwaju Tinubu administration. No doubt, Northern political leaders are becoming weaker and more disorganised. Even the Vice President, Sen. Kashim Shettima GCON, who is the highest office holder and by virtue of that should have served as the needed rallying point for Northern politicians, is anything but a political leader.

With every respect, hardly any official of the current administration of President Asiwaju Tinubu from the North, including Sen. Shettima, is willing and able to take the needed risk to defend the interest of the North. Painfully, what is emerging is that most leaders from the North are more concern about self-preservation in the government.

Because of self-preservation, already scheming for 2027 has commenced. Within the Presidency there are indicative cold war dynamics and positioning, which is alleged to be responsible for the praise-singing disposition of Vice President Shettima. The National Security Adviser (NSA), Mal. Nuhu Ribadu has devalued an exalted office almost to the status of a Protocol Office to President Asiwaju Tinubu.

Virtually all other Northern politicians holding offices in this government, including the Secretary to Government of the Federation (SGF), Sen. George Akume are absentee public servants who have been reduced to members of a choir group poorly singing ‘on your mandate we stand’ irrespective of the shaky and staggering reality being demonstrated by the mandate holder with reference to poor service delivery and crashing living conditions in the last one year.”

The motive for division in Nigeria is not tribal sentiments. Those people agree to disagree and disagree to agree. The pendulum of GREED.

Governance and Administration in our country must be very difficult in Nigeria.

People - who should be responsible politicians - get angry over "sharing formula" and simply declare things that plunge poor citizenry against themselves over tribe and religion.

For all we know, here is a disgruntled former APC member who has recently resigned from the party due to personal differences, possibly over the cake sharing; coming out to stoke embers of ethnic divide.

It is a shame. The President has told everyone to hold their governors responsible for development, but this ethnic bigot is too blinded to address that. The truth is that the percentage of the FAAC which all the governors collect is larger than what the FG gets. The difference is that the FG collects singly collects her share of the lesser percentage while the 36+1 States state their own pool of the bigger percentage that is nearly 60% of FAAC.

The fact is that the enormity of civil servants and MDAs which the FG has to service possibly explains some of this lopsidedness in the favour of the FG, but most State Governors have completely subsumed and alienated development at the most remote of local governments. What we have is that the State government take their thirty something percent of FAAC and add it to the twenty something percent for local governments in FAAC to their State JAACs.

At JAACs, they give crumbs to the local administrations in the councils, who largely exist at the mercies of the State Governors who impose them without elections, or with rigged State Electoral Body elections that has no opposition party winning any seat. The State then takes it upon itself to develop all the local governments from the centre at the State Capital, invalidating any possibility of development at the rural areas where the essential agricultural products come from. Naturally, development decreases as the distance from the state capital centre lengthens in this arrangement. This must change. We must ensure that the local governments work, and the President has sued the State Governors to the Supreme court to achieve this. Nigerians must realise the root causes of our problems.

This is one of the structural problem with Nigeria: not choristers or anything. Tinubu is no longer figuring for legitimacy which requires people to sing about standing on amy mandate. If anything, he publicly told people to shut up while singing the song. We must face governance squarely. There is a reason why campaigns are banned 24 hours to any elections and are not lifted until a few months before an election. Don't overheat the polity by feeding people with heresies or outright falsehoods.
