The Northern Elders Forum has stated that the North had paid the biggest price for the failure of President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration.
Spokesman of the group, Hakeem Baba-Ahmed said on Wednesday in Lagos that the country’s salvation is neither with All Progressives Congress, APC, nor Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
While speaking at a dialogue organised by an online newspaper, Ripples Nigeria, on the theme “Rebuilding trust in a divided Nigeria: Advancing the conversation”, in Lagos, he charged Nigerians to vote for an individual who is interested in the development of the country.

He said: “The North has paid the biggest price for the failure of President Muhammadu Buhari.”
“Don’t attribute Buhari’s failure to northerners. The people in the North have the wrong person in office because they are the first victims of the misgovernance of President Buhari.”
Other top Nigerians that spoke at the event were Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State and acting Leader of the pan-Yoruba socio-political organisation, Afenifere, Pa Ayo Adebanjo
