Former member of the House of Representatives in the second republic, Dr. Junaid Mohammed, without mincing words called former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, a nonentity for the latter daring to say Northerners are lazy for not wanting the restructuring of Nigeria.
While reacting to Atiku’s comment in an interview with The Sun, Junaid said:
“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 the 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,”.
