Freedom Coalition: $ 250m Fund To Elect Maj (rtd)Umar (Ribadu)And Akunyili(?) in 2011,Get Rid of The Cabal led By Babangida For Good! Yes We Can! (Part 3)

"First of all I am a member of PDP, secondly the PDP designed a zonal arrangement which means it is a party that believes in fairness, it's a party that wants to make sure everybody participate in the political process of this country, if on the other hand they are satisfied that, that objective of fairness, equity and justice have been achieved by all means I see nothing wrong in jettisoning the zonal arrangement. I want you to understand two things. This time, my dear sir, we are playing democracy, government of the people by the people and for the people using political parties, using the rule of law, I can not see it annulled by a democratic society,don't forget I ran a military government and that is the difference.You probably might have read the whole zoning arrangement upside down, the agreement was between the north and south, and did not define it further between north west or north central or north east or south west nor south east."

Ibrahim babangida, a.k.a. the devil in human form, Nigeria's former dictator. Excerpt of interview. July, 2010


" The plot against President Goodluck Jonathan's emergence as presidential candidate of the ruling Peoples' Democratic Party, PDP, gathered momentum, yesterday, as the Plateau State Chapter of the Northern Political Forum, NPLF, threatened that the North would pull out of the PDP should the party decide to abandon the zoning arrangement. Also, yesterday, political leaders and people of Katsina State gathered at Maikudi Hotel insisting on zoning of presidency to North in 2011 election. However, facts emerging from the camp of retired Generals from the North indicated that they were divided over whether or not President Goodluck Jonathan should contest on the platform of the PDP or step aside and conduct free and credible elections. Jos group threatens North's exit.
