The Northern Elders Council, NEC, a socio-political
organisation, has advised President Muhammadu Buhari that to ensure a
rancour-free and transparent general elections, he must handle all situations
leading to the exercise with caution.
Mallam Tanko Yakasai, a leader of NEC, said some non-state
actors within the corridors of power plan to use closeness to leadership to
generate chaos and derail the electoral process for their selfish gains.
The NEC, in a statement, enjoined the President Muhammadu
Buhari-led administration, in the country’s interest, to be wary of such
elements.
Yakasai, who had weeks ago expressed support for the
presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Ahmed
Tinubu, assured that it would be making more policy statements in the coming
days after its next congress on the state of the nation.
“NEC, at all times, will not shy away from its commitment to
peace, unity and stability of Nigeria,” Mallam Yakasai said in the statement.
He hoped that Nigerians would not get it wrong at the coming
polls by joining forces with progressive elements, stressing that the group had
taken stock of developments in the nation’s political space.
