Nigeria's President Criticizes Northeast Governors

http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/nigerias-president-blames-northeast-governors-23116908


President Goodluck Jonathan blamed governors in Nigeria's northeastern states for the country's Islamic uprising, saying their failure to provide social services created more room for the killers of  more than 1,000 people so far this year, Jonathan lashed out at the governors, all from the opposition, at a rally in northern Bauchi state on Saturday. Governors also have suggested the violence is intended to weaken the northern vote ahead of February 2015 elections in which Jonathan's party faces its stiffest opposition since winning power in 1999 elections that ended decades of military dictatorship. Most northerners are Muslims and Jonathan is a Christian from the south. I guess the next in election will be a political wall in Nigeria.
