The Northern Elders Forum has expressed its deepest regrets over its decision to vote for President Bola Tinubu in the 2023 elections.
According to the spokesperson of the forum, Abdul-Azeez Suleiman, who revealed that the North has learned its lesson.
Speaking further in his recent interview with the Guardian, Suleiman added that the recent abduction of school children in Kuriga, Kaduna depicts the government’s failure to protect its citizens.
“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.
The mistake of supporting Tinubu in 2023 has taught them the importance of unity and consensus in selecting a candidate for the highest office in the land,”
