Founder of Omega Fire Ministries Apostle Johnson Suleman has labelled southerners as ‘noisemakers’, noting that the north will always be in power.
He said this during his church’s convention in Abuja on May 29 while speaking on Sokoto State Governor Aminu Tambuwal’s decision to step down for another northerner Atiku Abubakar at the Peoples Democratic Party’s convention in Abuja on May 28.
Atiku won the presidential primary with 371 votes. Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike was the first runner-up with 237 votes.
“You saw what played out yesterday in Abuja? Why do you think the north has been in office and power for many years? Even if the north is not in the office, the north will be in power,” Suleman said.
“If they are not in power, they will be in office. This is because the southern region, especially south-south, are noisemakers. The north will allow you to finish making your noise then they will shock you. Atiku knew the southerners were noisemakers, and he worked on it.
“They are 100 per cent loyal to themselves; that is why Tambuwal could take such a decision. All my northern friends have not spoken ill of me, but the southerners are the ones mocking me.”
