The people of the Middle Belt said they regretted voting for President Goodluck Jonathn during the 2011 general elections.
They said that in spite of their support for the President, they had nothing to show for it.
The Middle Belt people, however, said
despite their disappointment, they would still vote for him again in the
February 14 general elections.
In a communiqué issued after a summit of
the Middle Belt Dialogue in Jos which drew delegates from the Federal
Capital Territory, Adamawa, Bauchi, Benue, Borno, Gombe, Kaduna, Kebbi,
Kogi, Kwara, Nasarawa, Niger, Plateau, Taraba and Yobe states, the
region said, “There is general anger and disappointment in our
communities against the Jonathan-led Federal Government as a result of
the sad reality that despite the huge political investment by our people
for the purpose of electing him in 2011, there has been no commensurate
political patronage in terms of projects and appointments.”
The communiqué, which was signed by the
facilitators of the summit – Messrs Aminu Zang, Lanre Obafemi, Rima
Shawulu and Mark Jacob – read, “It is obvious that as a result of the
huge political investment of our communities in 2011, our communities
have been exposed to unimaginable genocide and consequent untold
hardship, while governments at the state and federal levels have
appeared indifferent to the suffering of our people." ...Punch
