Second Republic lawmaker, Junaid
Mohammed, has said that former Vice President Atiku Abubakar is a bloody
nonentity who thinks he can become President of Nigeria by insulting fellow
Northerners.
Mohammed said this in reaction to
Abubakar’s statement at the weekend that anyone opposed to the current clamour
for the restructuring of the nation is lazy.
Junaid, in an interview with the
Sun newspaper yesterday, insisted that Atiku was part of the reasons the region
was being vilified by southerners.
He said he came to that
conclusion because an average southerner believed that northerners have made so
much money through their positions in government and politics in the country.
“Atiku is a scoundrel and a
bloody nonentity. He attained political limelight because the late Musa
Yar’Adua put him there; today he wants to position himself as the leader of the
north. But the north doesn’t give people of no consequence such position.
“His interest is not really about
restructuring. He thinks by insulting the north, the same way we are being
insulted by the south, that will give him presidency With this kind of
attitude, he can’t be the president of Nigeria.
“He will hear from the north at
the appropriate time. He is one of those making the south to abuse the north.
He is angry because his monopoly in the oil servicing sector has been broken.
“His wealth will never buy him
Nigeria’s presidency. The north is not for sale, Nigeria is not for sale. I
pray God sees us beyond 2019, let him challenge me, if he ever becomes
Nigeria’s president,” Mohammed fumed.
