Buhari Has Been A Northern Disappointment – NEF

The Northern Elders’ Forum has come out to say that the region will only vote for a competent president in 2023.

NEF recently revealed this via a statement, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, regardless of where the candidate comes from, the 2023 presidential election must be all about merit and fairness.

The forum added that Buhari has been a disappointment to not only the North, but the entire country.

It wrote, “A northerner and a Southerner have equal rights to contest but Northerners should be very careful of who they vote for in 2023.”

“No northerner should take us for granted. That’s how we ended up with President Buhari. We don’t want to repeat the same mistake. If you must be a northerner who’s better than all the candidates; for us, that’s the bottom line. It’s not enough to be a northerner, you have to be the best. You have to be the best for the North and you have to be the best for the rest of Nigeria.”

“We are looking for a Nigerian President. If it comes from the North, fine but he must be voted for by Nigerians and he must be good and he must be better than all the others. That’s what we are looking for.”

WOW.
