- Appointment of core northern Muslims in to key positions in the country.
- Extra financial support for the 19 northern states.
- Amnesty for Boko Haram, so that it would be an avenue to empower northern youths.
- To establish a world class petroleum university in Katsina state.
- To build another refinery in Kano state.
- To pay off Tinubu and Amaechi for sponsoring his campaign, so that his presidency can be truly a northern presidency.
- To place Ankio Briggs and Asari Dokubo on DSS watch list, seize their passports, because they can turn the Niger Delta region against his presidency.
- And lastly they asked him not to honour the gay agreement between his party (APC) and the western countries.
The northern leaders warned Buhari not to make the kind of mistake Dr Jonathan made by not massively developing the Niger Delta. They asked Buhari to treat the north, mostly north-west and north-east like every day is his last day in office, citing the long absence of a northerner at the helm of affairs.
According to the northern leaders, Jonathan focused on the transformation of the entire country, believing that he (Dr Jonathan) will secure a second term in office to massively develop Niger Delta.
An insider and attendee at the nocturnal meeting who demanded anonymity, squeaked to Elombah.com that the northern leaders made eight demands from Buhari, including:
1. Appointment of core northern Muslims in to key positions in the country.
2. Extra financial support for the 19 northern states.
3. Amnesty for Boko Haram, so that it would be an avenue to empower northern youths.
4. To establish a world class petroleum university in Katsina state.
5. To build another refinery in Kano state.
6. To pay off Tinubu and Amaechi for sponsoring his campaign, so that his presidency can be truly a northern presidency.
7. To place Ankio Briggs and Asari Dokubo on DSS watch list, seize their passports, because they can turn the Niger Delta region against his presidency.
8. And lastly they asked him not to honour the gay agreement between his party (APC) and the western countries.
Sources said Buhari agreed to try his best in the first seven demands, but he is not so sure of the last demand which is the gay agreement with western countries, because he is scared they would fight him, destabilize his government, and possibly edge him out like they did to Dr Jonathan.
The meeting had in attendance, Governors El Rufai, Aminu Masari, Abdulahi Ganduje of Kano, and Ibrahim Shehu Shema of Katsina respectively.
Others are Atiku Abubakar, Ibrahim Coomassie, Adamu Ciroma, Yusuf Maitama Sule, and Muhammad Danjuma Goje.

ReplyDeleteAsari doesn't have the right to include Niger delta in the so called Biafra republic. Asari should be be informed that it's first arrest was highly castigated bcos then he was pure in its struggle but now if anything happens to him no single person will move bcos he has compromised long ago. He is now a very wealthy man. What I see any government that favors them they keep quiet but ones not favorable they shout with Niger delta agitation. Do they really care about the people who had lost their lives in the struggle in the past 2 decades? But your children lives and school abroad. What about the children of those who lost their lives. Merge your self and the so called Biafra.
