Most critics of the All Progressives Congress (APC) government and the President Muhammadu Buhari administration from the South of Nigeria have urged northern opinion leaders to face realities and stop politicking with national issues. The southern critics emphasised that they do not hate President Muhammadu Buhari or the North but what they hate is bad leadership in the country. They reaffirmed their belief in good governance, transparent democracy, rule of law and national development.

The critics told northern opinion leaders that their propagation that the South hates the North is sheer illusion and deliberate plot to cause inter section disaffection in the glaring failure of government in the country.

They took to the social media platform to make a profound declaration.

“We don’t hate northerners, we hate only bad leaders.

“This man, Umar Musa Yar’Adua, is from the North and we love him. He did a lot of things before he died.

“Nigerians will never forget the tenure of Yar’Adua. Petrol was sold N65 per litre, diesel N112 per litre, bag of rice N3,500, bag of cement N750, bag of fertiliser N2,500, bag of flour N6,050,” they declared. The critics maintained: “who says we hate this man? We all like him. We need someone like Yar’Adua as President. This is the darkest period in Nigerian history.”

I have two northerners in my company and my anty married to a northerner. So simple we the masses in all the diaphragm of Nigeria hate bad leadership as we are experiencing it most today. Actually no sensible man will hate any geopolitical zone if not the evil leaders that clash our heads together and in reverse all off them will go in close door and merry.

In my own opinion I think this statement is very relevant to the issues of governance in Nigeria and if critically look into should sound for a Genesis of good governance in our country leadership style. We all are one people south & north demanding the best governance rulership for the country

So true, am from south, but the politicians always play ethnic sentiments especially those in the north, knowing that a lot of them in the north don’t understand governance, sorry to say but is a ploy, when you less educate people, you can easily control them, what we want is good leadership not sectional politics, we need to grow like China, US, India etc, only good leadership can get us there

We are too deep in sentiments, like in relation, ethnicity and sectionalism. Actually it is after someone dies we tend to celebrate him or her. Let’s us be free in criticizing government so that it can amend it’s mistakes. And let us accommodate the criticism in good faith. Remember government without criticism is no longer a democracy.
