“Mr. President, you do not have the power to remove a sitting governor, not even a councilor." - VP Shettima
Some of you are paying more attention to a lesser issue of what Shettima said yesterday but forgot about the key and underlying lesson.
Shettima indirectly told you that the North will always stand for the North.
Good luck. I planned everything as the president to remove Shettima as governor of Borno State.
Guess what? Mohamed Adoke, Jonathan's Minister of Justice and Attorney General from the North, told Goodluck to his face during the FEC that he has no power to remove even a world council, not to talk of a governor.
He sought the opinion of Taminu Turaki, SAN, who was also a minister in his cabinet from the North, and Turaki said, Mr. President, I concur with Adoke.
They sought the opinion of Aminu Tambuwal, the then speaker of the House of Representatives from the North, and he said, Mr. President, you have no constitutional power to remove a governor. That ended Goodluck's attempt to remove Shettima as governor of Borno State.
On the flip side.
When it comes to the South, Rivers State, precisely.
The president from the South came up with the idea of removing a serving governor in Rivers State. Before you say Jack, Akpabio, a senator from the South, hit the gavel in endorsement; Benjamin Kalu, a deputy speaker from the South, led the praise wing of the House of Representatives; and Fubara was removed.
No matter the semantics you want to use. Tinubu removed a governor.
The behavioral differences above are why the North will continue to own Nigerian politics and leadership space.
