The Northern Elders Forum, NEF, says Nigerians in the region are regretting their support for President Bola Tinubu in the 2023 election.
The spokesman of the forum, Abdul-Azeez Suleiman made the
claim in an interview with Guardian on Tuesday.
He noted that in subsequent polls, particularly the 2027
general elections, the region will prioritize unity and consensus in selecting
a candidate for the highest office in Nigeria.
“The North made a mistake in voting Bola Tinubu to the
presidency in 2023, and it is unlikely that they will repeat the same error in
the future.
“They have learned from their past misstep and will strive
to select a candidate who can unite the country and govern in the best
interests of all Nigerians.
“Moving forward, the North will be more cautious in
selecting a candidate for the presidency. They will prioritize someone who is
seen as more inclusive, less controversial, and more aligned with the interests
of all regions of the country”, he said.
Recall that President Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives
Congress, APC, polled the highest votes from the region to beat his major
contenders, including a Northerner, Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic
Party, PDP.
Since his inauguration in May 2023, the president has been
widely criticised over some policies of his administration, which were tagged
by the opposition as anti-masses.
Tinubu was also accused by Northern groups of lopsided
appointments in the federal government.
