About 14 days to the presidential poll, the North’s anger against President Goodluck Jonathan is growing over his non-committal on where the presidency will shift to in 2015. But some influential Northern leaders are still determined to stop the President from winning the poll.

The new coalition of Northern stakeholders and professionals will meet again today to discuss how power can return to the region in two weeks’ time.

It was also learnt that the anger of the North accounted for ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo’s last minutes efforts to save the President.

Investigation by our correspondent revealed that some Northern leaders, governors and Emirs were shocked that Jonathan was “dilly-dallying” on crucial issues like zoning, one-term in office, 2015 presidency and making categorical commitments.
