The Northern Elders\u2019 Forum has expressed that the region will only vote for a competent president regardless of where he comes from in the 2023 presidential election in the country.<\/p>\n

The NEF noted that it won\u2019t repeat the same mistake of voting for just any candidate as done to President Muhammadu Buhari, based on sentiment in 2015.<\/p>\n

The Forum described Buhari as a disappointment to not only the North but the entire country.<\/p>\n

The NEF\u2019s Director of Publicity and Advocacy, Dr. Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, stated this in an interview with newsmen on the sideline of the meeting of northern leaders of thought and groups held at the Arewa House, Kaduna on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Baba-Ahmed maintained that no northern presidential candidate should take the region for granted in the 2023 race, pointing out that that was how the region ended up with what he described as the \u201cBuhari mistake\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
