Barrister Mark Nzamah Jacob, a former Commissioner of Justice and Attorney General, Kaduna state, who was a key player in the Neighbour -2-Neighbour campaign that retained the then President, Goodluck Jonathan in Power, has given insights on how the North would produce the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) presidential ticket in 2019.
Jacob, who is usually referred to as a ‘restless advocate’ of the right of the Middle Belt, in a recent chat with Vanguard, said he was happy with the 2019 Presidential ticket zoned to the North by the PDP.
He said, “The 2019 Presidential ticket to the North zoned by the PDP is in sync with me. I have no problem with that, except that some of us would like to know which kind of North the PDP is talking about. Because, there is a section of the North that believes that it’s the only part of the North.
“Even when it is a minority in the North, it arrogates the definition of the North to itself.
“If the PDP is talking about a north that includes me from Southern Kaduna, that includes the Idoma man from Benue, the Nupe man from Niger, the Bachama man from Adamawa, then I am happy. So, let no one think that the zoning of the ticket to the North is for Hausa/Fulani. They have had their share of power.
“The late President Yar’adua and now President Buhari are Hausa/Fulani.
“That is enough. It is the turn of the majority of the North who are the other ethnic nationalities scattered in 14 Northern states.
“Let the Hausa/Fulani never imagine rearing their heads near the ticket when the time comes,” Jacob noted.
