CALLING ON UNITED NATIONS
ORGANISATION (U.N.O.)
to please urgently intervene in the
affairs of Nigeria.
Nigeria is about 160 million in
population. Another war in Nigeria
will definitely create global
humanitarian catastrophe. The 100
years given and documented by the
colonial masters (Britain) to see
whether their experimental
amalgamation of the northern and
southern Nigeria will work as a
nation is less than 1 year to lapse.
Nigeria as a nation has turned out to
be a mis-match of different ethnic
nationalities. With huge annual
income from oil & gas exports, not
to talk of the income from the
export of other solid minerals, the
populace still live in abject poverty.
Only a few corrupt Nigerians are
stupendously rich. There is massive
unemployment, general insecurity,
too much hate and anger in the
land. Feelers show that the majority
of Nigerians are disenchanted. They
want a Referendum conducted so as
to determine who and who want to
remain as part of Nigeria. The rulers
pretend that all is well because of
their selfish and personal benefit
from the misrule and chaos in
Nigeria. United Nations should
please not wait until things
degenerate to the level of Sudanese
bloody conflict before intervening in
the fastly deteriorating affairs of
Nigeria.

As the things goes on
If the PDP goes ahead with the
amendment to make Jonathan
the sole candidate in 2015
without primaries, would you be
tempted to join the All
Progressives Congress as you
recently applauded the merger of
opposition parties which aims to
oust your party?
Provided PDP members are free to
vote according to their conscience
or personal convictions of what is
right, the amendment may face
tough opposition. The sanctity of
the democratic principles on which
the PDP was founded should not be
sacrificed on the grounds of
expediency to gratify the ego of
individual leaders. Should we
mutilate a whole legal document
by which a party is run for the sake
of anyone else’s ambition or ego?
President Jonathan can throw this
hat into the ring, if that is what he
wants. It is important, however,
that the process of his nomination
by the party should be open, fair,
just and transparent. The contest
should be conducted through open
primaries. Other party members
should be allowed to participate in
the primaries. If they ultimately
lose to Jonathan through a fair
contest, they will embrace and
congratulate him. What is wrong
with open primaries or level-
playing ground? Amending the PDP
constitution for the sake of making
President Jonathan the sole
candidate is absolutely
unnecessary. Exclusion in the
nomination of candidates amounts
to imposition which is inconsistent
with democratic practice. I have
read all manners of arguments by
proponents, saying that the
American system gives the option
of first refusal to the incumbent
and that the PDP should do the
same. That is very misleading.
In the first place, it is not true that
American incumbents are not
challenged at party primaries; there
is no such rule in the United States.
The late Senator Edward Kennedy
mounted a vigorous challenge
against the then incumbent Jimmy
Carter. Although Carter won, the
contest went down to the wire. It
was resolved through a vote at the
nomination convention of the
Democratic Party. On the second
aspect of your question, I wish to
make a clarification. As a loyal PDP
member and as one of the
founding fathers, I couldn’t have
said the emergence of APC is good
for the death of PDP. What I said in
Ibadan was that, with the
emergence of APC, a two-party
system seems to be unfolding in
the country and that this
development is consistent with my
advocacy for a two-party system in
Nigeria. I never said the merger of
opposition parties as you alleged is
good for the ouster of PDP from
office.
Can you shed more light on the
controversy surrounding your
membership of the PDP Board of
Trustees?
On my alleged removal as a
member of the Board of Trustees of
PDP, I do not wish to engage in
speculation. No one has
communicated such decision to me
yet. It would, however, be
unfortunate if it turns out to be
true. As I said, it would be a setback
for the policy of reconciliation
embarked upon by the Alex
Ekwueme-led committee. This
move is like undoing the positive
outcome of what Dr. Ekwueme had
achieved in that respect.
Is it true that President Jonathan
signed a one-term agreement
with the North?
With the zoning policy of the PDP
virtually dead, talking about
agreements at this point is
somehow a tricky issue. I am not
sure I am in the right position to
talk about what you call the one-
term agreement. Governor
Babangida Aliyu of Niger State
recently referred to that agreement
or understanding. A gentleman’s
word should be his bond. I
contested against Jonathan during
the 2011 PDP presidential
primaries and, therefore, anything I
say now might be subject to
misinterpretation. Because of this
fact, I don’t want to belabour the
points about agreements or
understandings. I am, however,
primarily concerned about the
image of my party in the eyes of
Nigerians. Changing rules or the
constitution of the party for the
sake of expediency is not my idea
of honour. If we conveniently live
in denial or pretend that the party
didn’t reach any understanding on
anything, then who would take us
seriously? How can you be a
beneficiary of something and later
pretend that the policy that put
you in office is no longer relevant?
The emergence of (House of
Representatives) Speaker Aminu
Tambuwal against the party
insistence on zoning was a
consequence of abandoning
principle for the sake of
expediency. With the election of
Tambuwal as the Speaker,
following the party’s declaration
that zoning was dead, the PDP
leadership was morally disarmed to
prevent the
