Jonathan Critiques Tinubu Amid Northern Political Blame Game

The article addresses the ongoing political blame game in Nigeria, particularly between former President Goodluck Jonathan and current President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. It reflects on the historical context of Northern leadership, noting that despite having held power since independence, the North has the highest poverty and insecurity rates.

Jonathan criticizes the North for marginalizing the South while highlighting his own initiatives, such as the almajiri schools and new federal universities. The article also points out that since Tinubu's administration began in 2021, the North has faced significant challenges, including banditry and economic hardship, yet Northern elites continue to blame Southern leaders for their failures.

The piece emphasizes the need for accountability among Northern leaders, who have failed to address the region's issues over decades, and questions why they expect Southern presidents to resolve these problems in a short time.
