Before you read further, let me hail Tam David-Rolex Wrist-Watch for gaining the trust of our able quota professor, Ango Addullahi but let me start by saying that if I were a graduate of ABU especially during the time of Ango, I will, like "I Go Die" the popular comedian, turn to a rat and chop off "Ahmadu Bello and Zaria" from my certificate and leave just "University". Why? Because the man Ango Abdullahi is a disgrace. For a man who has attained such position to perpetually advocate that presidency must come from a particular part of a country for whatever reason must mean that he corrupted out youth by imbibing in them the spirit of religious and sectional interest rather than national interest. In the good old days, students were supposed to have been found worthy in character and in learning before they were awarded university degrees. What values did Ango Abdullahi inoculate in his students when he was vice chancellor of ABU? Are you still wondering why many educated Nigerians are what they are? Did somebody not say that the problems of Nigeria are caused and created by its elites? Education is supposed to make people better but unfortunately it has made many crooks, thieves, corrupt, armed robbers, bigots and just any vice one can imagine. Now I know Tam David-West-Rolex-Wrist-Watch must be happy clicking glasses of champagne reading that Ango is now promoting him to take over from Jonathan but my problem is that Ango “is advocating for a man with questionable character, an ex-convict to rule Nigeria, a man who was bribed with ordinary wristwatch and cups of tea to cause economic adversity to the Nigeria nation as petroleum minister”. This did not originate from me. It was written by someone who knew Tam David-West unlike many Nigerians who have very short memories. I know and that is the reason I continuously call him Tam David-West-Rolex-Wrist-Watch. It does not matter that he has continuously spoken about corruption, Tam had been caught up in corruption in the past and if you do not belief, ask our brown envelop loving journalist to do some digging around Tam and a can of warm will be opened but do we have such journalists in Nigeria? No because if we do, each time those known to have stolen our wealth spoke about corruption, they would have challenged them with he records of their past deeds. If they do, it will be clear that most of them claiming to be progressives today have stolen our common wealth in the past. This is how many of them acquire uncountable properties in Abuja, all state capitals and even as far as in Europe, the Americas and far away Dubai apart from the opulence lives they live. . For Amaechi, it is “u to o”. Do you now see that they are almost dumping you in favour of Tam? Their main spokesman has spoken. I don’t even know unless he is vain, why Amaechi thinks they will accept him in place of Tam, Tam who paved ways as oil minister for them to own oil blocks, the proceeds which they use to sponsor all the negatives like Boko Haram, APC, and now PDM and now New PDP. Now read Ango Abdullahi’s interview: Home2015: Ango Abdullahi gives condition for Southern president From NOAH EBIJE, Kaduna Spokesman of the Northern Elders Forum (NEF), Prof. Ango Abdullahi yesterday said northern zone would only allow power shift to south on condition that former petroleum minister, Tam David West is picked for the 2015 presidential race. Abdullahi who was the Vice Chancellor, Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), Zaria said this was because most Nigerians could no longer trust President Goodluck Jonathan with the leadership of the country, because, according to him, Jonathan had betrayed the process that brought him into office. Speaking on a Kaduna based Liberty Radio programme, Guest of the Week, monitored in Kaduna, the former vice chancellor, who has consistently insisted that the Presidency should come to the North in 2015, appeared to have made a sudden u-turn on the issue by canvassing for a southern candidature. He was, however, quick to add that even though he was canvassing for the return of the Presidency to the North, he would support a candidate like Prof Tam David West as a potential presidential candidate from the South-South. “I have challenged somebody and told him that let them produce Prof Tam David West as presidential candidate from the South south, I will raise my hands in support because of the issue of competence. There is no way you can compare the President with David West in terms of their records of achievement. There is no doubt in my mind that Tam David West can run this country more efficiently than the current President. “I am trying to raise the moral ground on which I will not trust the current president because he has not been trustworthy. If he wanted to be trustworthy, he would have to go to the north and say, I was VP to Yar’Adua under a zoning arrangement and that if Umaru had lived, he would have been President for eight years; but Umaru has died and we know it is the right of the North for the remaining period. “If he had acknowledged this understanding, it would have been purely a different matter,” he said. But people kept arguing purely on semantics and politics. “I am not an advocate of zoning. Infact, I want it dead. Right now, we want a President of northern extraction. I want to disabuse your mind on whether the northern votes will not split if there are more than one candidate contesting and another party presents a candidate from another part of the country. Let me assure you that the North will vote in one place. “The President’s foot soldiers have approached me. I met one of the foot soldiers and I told him that for me, there wouldn’t have been any reason to support any candidate from outside the North. The North is not selfish and has never exhibited any selfishness. “They are saying, allow Jonathan to transform the country, I don’t know what indices they are using and I can’t see what direction this transformation is going.
