OPINION: Why A Southerner Cannot Become Minister For FCT by RenaissanceGuy: 11:13am On Jun 02, 2020
Hello guys. I've been wondering for a while now why we've never had a southern person as minister for FCT, at least, since 1999 till date.

Under Olusegun Obasanjo, these were his FCT ministers:
- Ibrahim Bunu
-Mohammed Abba Gana
-Nasir Ahmad el-Rufai

During Yar'Adua:
-Nasir Ahmad el-Rufai
- Aliyu Modibbo Umar
-Adamu Aliero

During Jonathan's govt:
- Bala Mohammed

Buhari's govt:
-Mohammed Bello

Verdict: ALL of them northerners!

If Northerners have been and are still ministers of petroleum, GMDs of NNPC back to back, why have "foolish" southern presidents made the position of the minister for FCT an exclusive northern affair? And the Northern presidents have now borrowed a leaf from it by continuing it.

Nigeria is a time bomb because when this injustice gets to a boiling point, what's currently happening in the US will be a child's play, if we don't reverse this nepotism that the north is practising over the south despite the fact that nearly 100% of our resources come from the south.

Currently both the minister and the deputy for FCT are Northerners as if it's their exclusive preserve, but northerners are the minster for petroleum and the GMD of NNPC. Is this not height of craziness and injustice?

If only we realize we’ve always been controlled by a very small portion of the wealthy north perhaps we would come to reason.

Ignorance has been the perfect rule of law.

The yorubas have been slave for too long without knowledge of it.

FOOLISH SOUTHERN PRESIDENTS

These IPOB guys cannot express themselves without being abusive.

Well, I don't blame you. I blame your parents for not bringing you up the right way.

Is like there's this fetish (spiritual) agreement between who wants to preside this country and the northern elites.

Jonathan made Yeebos Ministers in juicy ministries.

Minister of finance
Minister of petroleum resources
Minister of Aviation

Can Yeebos point to any commendable achievement from the above.

One even used the Enugu airport money to buy BMW bullet proof cars..... Today a northerner is the one renovating that Airport.
