We won’t impeach Jonathan -Ciroma •I’m not desperate for power -President

THE Northern Leaders Political Forum (NLPF) said on Monday that it was no longer interested in the plan to impeach President Goodluck Jonathan on the basis of the one-week ultimatum given to him to resign some weeks ago.
The Forum said it was more particular about how to ensure a northern presidency in 2011 than calling for Jonathan’s impeachment, stating that the North has no time on its side to do that.
The leader of the Forum, Mallam Adamu Ciroma, made this known in Abuja during an interview with newsmen, stating that a Northern presidency in 2011 would have put paid to the agitation and rising temper on the issue of zoning in Nigeria.
Ciroma said the North was not joking about its clamour for Northern presidency, disclosing that it had never been more challenged to pursue a political cause than now on the necessity to ensure that one of the four presidential aspirants in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) got the presidential slot of the party for the coming election.
He said the PDP was only pretending not to fully recognise zoning, as, according to him, the outcome of its primaries would confirm to Nigerians that zoning exists as a political arrangement meant to foster unity, better understanding and harmony among the component units of the country.
