Northern leaders conspired to sabotage Jonathan –Umeh

National Chairman of All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA
Chief Victor Umeh has said that the Northern leaders
conspired to sabotage Jonathan as he called on President
Goodluck Jonathan not to be deceived by people like
Theophilus Danjuma and some Norther leaders who are
praising him for conceding defeat to President-elect Gen.
Muhammadu Buhari, saying that they never supported his


administration.
Chief Umeh while agreeing that there are some good
Northern leaders with good intentions for Nigeria, urged
President Jonathan to ignore some of the sycophants who
never supported his reelection bid and are now praising
him for conceding defeat to Gen. Buhari, saying, they were
spoiling for war before the election and waiting for him to
reject the result of the election so they can start the war
they have been planning.
"For Danjuma to say that President Jonathan averted civil
war by conceding and added that Ojukwu would have saved
Nigeria one year of bloodshed if Ojukwu had done what
Jonathan did, he revealed the war they have been planning,
if not what has loosing election or not conceding defeat got
to do with civil war, is the court not there to redress
election fraud, have people not been loosing election?
"But thank God that President Jonathan was not desperate
for power, for 48 years the Igbo have been held down, and
they never bothered who rules the country, for over thirty
years a section of this country was ruling and believed that
power rest with them, just few years they were out of
power they started complaining and some threatening war
if power did not come back to them" he said.
Speaking with newsmen, Chief Umeh wondered why
President Jonathan visited Gen. Danjuma whom he said did
not support his reelection bid, but instead rained insult on
the President by saying that he was defeated and he
conceded defeat, something he said Late Ojukwu should
have done to save the country of crisis.
"I am very sure that Danjuma and some of his cohorts who
are now praising Jonathan did not support the President in
his reelection bid, I don't know what President Jonathan
went to look for in his house, all the Northern leaders
conspired to sabotage Jonathan, Danjuma inclusive, I don't
know what he went to his house to look for, he may have
deceived the President to believe that he supported him,
but I am telling you, all the Northern leaders ganged up
against the President.
"For saying that Jonathan saved Nigeria from civil war,
Danjuma made the right comment because they have
perfected planned on how to fight war, if their brother did
not win, that shows they were desperate to take power
which they held for over thirty years without other sections
of the country complaining, if Jonathan has refused to
accept defeat, there would have been war like they said, the
North were ready for that from the way they are behaving
and what they are saying since after the election" he said.
Chief Umeh therefore, urge President Jonathan to
concentrate on his job for the remaining days of his
administration and ignore the pretenders who never
supported him and made things very difficult for his
administration in spite all the developmental projects he
carried out in the North, which the sections of the country
that gave him full support never benefited or enjoyed.
"Jonathan did everything to impress the North but you
cannot satisfy some of them, there is nothing you can do
for some of them they will regard than giving back power to
them, that is the secret of their jubilation and saying all
sorts things and insulting everybody including the
President, they are no more spoiling for war, they have got
what they want" he said.
