Danmaliki attributed the stunted growth of the region to bad and corrupt leadership.
He stated this on Wednesday at a media chat in Bauchi, affirming that the problem of the North was not lack of political power.
According to a visibly angry Danmaliki, the northerners had ruled the country for over 36 years with nothing to be proud of, stressing that the major problems of the region were lack of vision and selfish interest of Northern leaders .
He added that the Northern Brotherhood Movement is aimed at promoting peace, progress, unity and brotherhood among the various ethnic groups in the region.
He advocated for of a competent leader such as General Theophilus Danjuma (rtd) to lead the Northerners.
While lamenting that Northern leaders had failed in their respective responsibility, especially in uniting the people of the North by discarding religion, Danmaliki said barley a century after Nigeria was amalgamated in 1914, there was still no unity in the North.
He said: “Since the exit of Sardauna, which organisation has promoted peaceful co-existence among Northerners? Where have you seen? Muslim and Christian brothers living together in peace?
“Northerners failed to come up with a leader, hence our decision to champion the appointment of Danjuma as our solution.”
